Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Minister referred to the rights of the drinks industry but he need not have bothered. The industry is well able to look after them. I never saw such a ferocious lobby in this House and other places. I welcome the fact that the grounds of closure order are being extended to include nuisance to neighbours. This is a question of behaviour and I do not see any reason people should have to tolerate drunken and disgusting behaviour outside their premises.
