Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 October 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.
Policing and Crime Bill
Perhaps I may ask the noble Lord about one matter. He said on a number of occasions that the object of this clause is to deal with unsupervised drinking. Would it not be better to state in Clause 30, if we need an offence at all, that no offence is committed if the alcohol is in the possession of a young person under the supervision of an adult? Rather than leaving it entirely to the discretion of the police, that would at least cover the cases of the family picnic, the youngster who is employed in the shop and, no doubt, many others.
