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


Alcohol Strategy

We do indeed. The hon. Gentleman will find that we refer in the alcohol strategy to the issue of pregnant women drinking and the impact on the foetus and therefore on the babies when they are born. The drinks industry—for example, Diageo—has taken several initiatives on research and other aspects of the problem. The hon. Gentleman and I do not often agree on issues, but I am very happy to agree with him on the importance of the matter that he raised.
