AMENDMENT OF THE LAW

I suspect that the young men and women who binge drink and cause disturbances on our streets in the south and south-west of Scotland and in Dundee—in fact, in every constituency in the country—are highly unlikely to do so after a few nips of 15-year-old Balvenie. We need to take on the real problem—alcopops, super-strength lager that is cheaper than bottled water, and cider, which has been undertaxed for some time—not take on an industry that generates a huge amount for the UK economy in a way that will make its export drive much more difficult.
