Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Licensing Act.
Licensing Act
It may well be our policy; that does not stop it being ludicrous. This may not be the only context in which I feel that, to be honest, but we shall steer clear of the others for now, despite the encouragement of my hon. Friend on the Front Bench. It is the old idea of politicians wanting to look as if they are doing something—and doing something that does not help with the problem, but further punishes decent, law-abiding citizens.
