HC Deb 21 October 1985 vol 84 cc36-7W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received advocating legislation to impose stricter controls over the supply of alcohol by large chain stores and supermarkets and the methods and means by which alcoholic beverages are displayed and marketed by such outlets; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. Friend has received no such representations in recent months and has no present plans to amend the licensing law on the lines described.
