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


Alcohol

I agree with the hon. Gentleman. My problem is that those are the sort of measures that his Government are keen to introduce as well. We appear to have a Dutch auction between the Scottish Executive and the Westminster Government as to who can introduce the biggest nanny state of all. I am afraid that both are going in completely the wrong direction. I agree with the sentiment behind his point, but I do not think that his Government are any less guilty than the Scottish Executive.
