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. Lady made several points. I fully recognise the role that the Durham police played in the work that is being done there. It was a collective operation through licensees, the police and others. I am very pleased that Chief Constable Jon Stoddart of Durham, who is the ACPO lead on the matter, has said that he greatly supports the policy. He said that he welcomed any new approach"““that will help reduce the availability of cheap alcohol… and reduce pressure on the police.””" That is exactly what the strategy will do.
