HC Deb 11 December 1979 vol 975 c540W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to be able to make a statement concerning the proposals that have been put to him by the licensed trade to use part of the compensation funds to set up a foundation for education and research into alcohol abuse.

Mr. Raison

Consultations about these proposals are continuing. I cannot say at this stage when it will be possible for a statement to be made.
