Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Alcohol Strategy.


Alcohol Strategy

The Home Secretary's statement repeats an awful lot of things that have already happened, which illustrates that it is has been cobbled together—announcing new powers from an Act that this Parliament has already passed. Further powers such as heavier fines for those serving under-age people, which I think is very valuable, will work only if they are properly enforced. How does the Home Secretary square that with her reductions in policing budgets?
