Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.
Finance (No. 3) Bill
Are the Government not just tinkering with the alcohol measures, rather than facing up to the reality of the drink problem that Britain faces? Would it not be much better to have a significant unit price for alcohol, which would not affect pubs, beer drinkers in pubs or the average bottle of wine, but would raise the floor price for those who drink to excess, particularly the young?
