Proceeding contribution from Lord McColl of Dulwich (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Alcohol Labelling Bill [HL].


Alcohol Labelling Bill [HL]

I am always in favour of simplifying things and getting rid of bureaucracy. On the size of the print, however, I have studied quite a few wine bottles, and I have noted that when the warning is about 1 millimetre high, it is very difficult to read. As the noble Baroness, Lady Coussins, said, it also depends on the colour of the label. Black print on a red background is extremely difficult to read.
