As nobody is offering, I have a number of questions.

There is the question of delivering alcohol off-site and receiving payment electronically or at the point of delivery. I believe one can telephone Drink Link and have the alcohol delivered to one's address. Do the witnesses from the National Off-Licence Association wish to comment on this, its prevalence and the checks and balances in place? If somebody telephones from a private house, asking for a delivery of alcohol to a party, what is the procedure? Is there a verification of the age of the people and is it within the law to do that?
