Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I am delighted that my hon. Friend is making such a strong case for the link between alcohol and lawlessness. If the Minister had studied the 1872 Act and the debate on it in more detail, she would know that the same argument was used in the debate on then.""The testimony on all hands was as strong as testimony could be that every advancing hour of the night brought with it an increasing ratio of drunkenness…something like from 43 to 45 per cent. of the drunkenness occurred after 11 o'clock".—[Official Report, 11 July 1872; Vol. 212, c. 965.]" That was what was said then, linking it directly to crime and disorder—a link that my hon. Friend is making now.
