HC Deb 14 June 1990 vol 174 c322W
Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the request by Bolton metropolitan borough council to introduce a byelaw to prohibit drinking in public places; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The byelaw is being tested on an experimental basis in seven areas. A decision on whether the byelaw will be made widely available will depend on the results of these experiments.
