Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Alcohol Strategy.
Alcohol Strategy
As a former chair of the all-party group on alcohol misuse, I think that I was the first Member to table an early-day motion raising the problem of cheap alcohol and its impact on our society. However, the Home Secretary has not mentioned the more than 6,000 babies every year who are born damaged by alcohol consumed by their mothers during pregnancy. In America, every drink canister and bottle has a label warning pregnant women about drinking. Will the Home Secretary take that into account in her consultation?
