HC Deb 18 November 2002 vol 394 c12W
19. Mr. Blizzard

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what measures she is taking to clamp down on under-age drinking. [81386]

Dr. Howells

The licensing Bill has a clear focus on protecting children from harm. For the first time, it will be an offence to sell alcohol anywhere to under 18s. In addition, the package of measures in the White Paper, around which the Bill is based, made provision to legalise test purchasing to aid enforcement.
