HC Deb 22 November 1972 vol 846 cc402-3W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received protesting against the proposed reduction to 16 years of the legal age for the consumption of alcoholic liquor.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I understand that the Clayson Committee on the Licensing Laws has received evidence from organisations and individuals opposing any reduction in the minimum age of 18.
