HC Deb 23 January 2002 vol 378 c860W
28. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the First Secretary of the National Assembly for Wales and others on the mechanisms for co-ordinating policy for reducing alcoholism in Wales. [27084]

Mr. Touhig

I have not recently discussed with Assembly colleagues the issue of alcoholism in Wales.

However I am aware that the Assembly is tackling the problem of substance misuse, including alcohol abuse, through its 8-year substance misuse strategy "Tackling Substance Misuse in Wales: A Partnership Approach".
