Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Knife Crime.


Knife Crime

I strongly support the theme of raising the price of cheap alcohol, but does the hon. Gentleman accept that prohibiting below-cost sale is not good enough? Alcohol is still quite cheap for supermarkets. Even if they sold it at cost, it would still be too low in price. Does he agree that there should be a minimum price for alcohol, as well as strict enforcement of who is able to buy it?
