Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Estimates day on Alcohol.


Alcohol

Why does the hon. Gentleman insist that the vast majority of my constituents, who are perfectly moderate, decent drinkers who do not abuse alcohol whatsoever, should pay more for their alcohol from the supermarket in order to tackle a problem of youth drinking? Surely even he is not naive enough to believe that upping the price of a bottle of wine by 50p will eliminate youth drinking at a stroke.
