HC Deb 27 October 1997 vol 299 c748W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what research he has commissioned into the ages of the purchasers of alcopops. [12309]

Mr. George Howarth

As the Government's announcement on 17 July made clear, we are concerned about the misuse of all kinds of alcohol by those under age. There is a range of existing research and regular surveys which already cover various aspects of under-age drinking. We are looking carefully at whether additional research is required.
