HC Deb 04 February 1987 vol 109 c681W
Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent research into the actual risk of detection for excess alcohol offences is available to his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

There has been no recent research of which results are yet available. However, a study now being carried out by the Department includes an assessment of the relationship between police enforcement practices and the incidence of drink-driving offences.
