HC Deb 16 February 1978 vol 944 cc359-60W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what his policy towards the protection from drink abuse of young people in Northern Ireland who attend leisure centres, particularly in view of the statement by the Social Services Secretary at Newcastle that drink problems are rising faster among younger people than in older drinkers.

Mr. Dunn

If the hon. Gentleman is referring to the proposed legislation to permit the provision of licensed facilities in certain district council leisure centres, I would refer him to my reply to the right hon. Member for Belfast, East (Mr. Craig) on 12th January 1978.—[Official Report, Vol. 914, c. 1847–9.]
