§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what recent representations or evidence he has received about the practice of selling beer and cider in short measures in licensed premises; and whether he will seek to strengthen the law to prevent this practice.
§ Mr. FletcherLocal authorities regularly review the situation and periodically make known the results of their surveys. Although problems of enforcement do exist we are not yet convinced that strengthening the law is the most appropriate solution.
