Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

The phrase used is "national sporting arenas", and it does not refer to every club throughout the country. In respect of the designated areas, it is the intention that under no circumstances will the swilling of beer on stands at events be allowed. This is designed to be confined to after-match events, hospitality during events or whatever. The provision will not allow masses of fans to stand around with plastic beakers full of beer, as is the case in some countries. I do not believe it would be appropriate for us to go down that road.
