Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

Sections 13 to 16, inclusive, deal with under age drinking. The introduction of controls in this area is welcome. The necessity to provide proof of age is long overdue and we should continue with it regardless of any resistance the Minister might encounter. I am not sure whether the identification requirements should be expanded beyond the age of 21. There are 22 and 23 year-olds who look younger than 21, so I do not know whether difficulties will arise.
