Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Alcohol Strategy.

Alcohol Strategy

I strongly support my right hon. Friend's statement. It is important to make the point that a Conservative-led Government should be about not just laissez-faire liberalism but social responsibility and civic duty. How will my right hon. Friend ensure—if necessary, by sanction—that local authorities properly use the power that she gives them, given that they have not chosen to be very prescriptive in their powers under the Licensing Act 2003?
