§ 89. Mr. John HuntTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he plans to introduce legislation to amend the present definition of intoxicating liquor in the Licensing Act 1964; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe are considering, in consultation with other Departments, whether it would be desirable to amend the definition of intoxicating liquor in the 1964 Act to relax restrictions on the sale of low alcohol products now becoming available. In particular, we are concerned to assess any possible effect on children and young persons of unrestricted access to low alcohol drinks.
