Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2017. It occurred during Backbench debate on Alcohol Harm.

Alcohol Harm

The hon. Lady is absolutely right. There are a million and one ways in which we can do this. Someone called Gemma contributed to the report and said:

“Going down any street with a pub on it in the UK and there will be a sign outside with a quote such as ‘Drinking at 9 am doesn’t make you an alcoholic’. Well, to be honest, it probably does.”

There are common-sense restrictions that I think we should be debating.
