Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Estimates day on Alcohol.

Alcohol

The hon. Gentleman is talking about criminal justice solutions. During the passage of the Licensing Act 2003, I was amazed, as a member of the Public Bill Committee that considered it, that there were so few prosecutions of landlords selling alcohol to intoxicated people. That has been against the law for a long time. Enforcing that law—I see no evidence that the situation is improving—would deal with some of the disorder that we see on our high streets. Does he recognise and agree with that?
