Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

On section 17, I have some sympathy with licensed vintners on the issue of consumption within the vicinity of their premises, particularly if it is within a range of 100 metres. This may impact unfairly upon licensed vintners. It is not easy for them to patrol in this manner and people are ingenious when it comes to circumventing and breaking the law. I have no doubt that measures will be taken to do that. I suggest that the impact of this provision on licensed vintners be monitored very closely and form a significant part of any review.
