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
The hon. Gentleman makes a valid point about the health aspect. There has been a 25% increase in liver disease between 2001 and 2009. As he said, figures on that came out earlier this week. That is why the document is a comprehensive strategy. It deals with alcohol pricing, health, relationship with the industry and the powers for licensing authorities. It is a cross-Government strategy, which brings all those issues together, to deal with what I hope Members of all parties recognise as a problem that has not been tackled for too long.
