Health Bill

Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill.
There will not be 24-hour drinking as a result of very sensible changes in the licensing laws, which, of course, Opposition Members have called for and which will enable responsible adults to drink rather more without the current restrictions—[Interruption.] We will enable responsible adults to drink without the restrictions that are currently imposed by out-of-date licensing laws, but we will give the police much tougher powers to deal with the minority who binge drink and then attack other people.
