Proceeding contribution from Earl of Mar and Kellie (Liberal Democrat) 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
My Lords, I note in passing that the Scottish Government are attempting to introduce the same sort of amendments as my noble friend is, particularly regarding unit pricing. The Minister and his civil servants should go out and examine the price of white cider sold in blue bottles. I believe that there are about six or seven units of alcohol in a one-litre bottle, and the price is about £1.25. I regard that price as extremely irresponsible. I note—this is a classic House of Lords remark—that in one of the woodlands that I own there is a huge pile of those blue bottles, put there not by me but by youngsters who enjoy the peace and quiet when consuming their excessively cheap alcohol.
