I am at one with my right hon. Friend in wanting to stamp out excessive and irresponsible drinking, which is fuelling too much crime in our society. However, may I ask her to be cautious in seeking a power to impose a new code of practice on pubs and to...

I am disappointed at not having secured debates on the amendments in my name on seat belt wearing and court presentation officers, but despite those minor disappointments, this is a good Bill. I am disappointed that my hon. Friend the Minister and I cannot see eye to eye about the...

About three years ago, I chaired a conference for the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety—although I no longer chair the conference, I am still a member—on drug-driving. On the day, the big issue was the one that I raised in my intervention on the hon. Member for Christchurch (Mr....

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on making his case so powerfully. There is a serious problem with people driving under the influence of drugs. There is an offence already of driving when ability is impaired by drink or drugs, and to date the main problem in enforcement has been the...

I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who echoes the hon. Member for Christchurch (Mr. Chope). That cocktail effect is a particularly dangerous set of circumstances in putting people’s lives at risk on the road. When Parliament introduced a law against drinking and driving, it was resisted by some people...

That is a false choice. There are several areas in which we must take action to keep the trend in road deaths going downwards. My point is that the trend in drink-driving deaths is not going downwards, unlike all the others. More therefore needs to be done in terms of...

In the last nine years, we have changed the law in this place so that the Home Office can publish a national policing plan containing the overarching priorities for all police forces in the country. Do my hon. Friend’s discussions with Home Office Ministers include representations suggesting that the plan...

I want to focus on alcohol and on some of the work being done in Stafford. The backdrop is Staffordshire police reporting an 8 per cent. fall in crime overall this year, which is the latest in a series of consecutive falls. House burglaries are down by 24 per cent.,...

That this House recognises that alcohol misuse is a cause of mounting concern across the United Kingdom; further recognises that the full involvement of the drinks industry must be integral to a successful solution to the problem; to this end welcomes the actions of off-trade retailers, as represented by the Wine and Spirit Association, the British Retail Consortium and the Association of Convenience Stores, in developing and promoting Responsible Retailing of Alcohol: Guidance for the Off-Trade; believes that this guidance provides a successful first step in joint industry-government initiatives in promoting a long-term cultural shift in attitudes towards alcohol consumption; urges all retailers to implement the guidelines before the festive season commences; anticipates that this will result in a further squeeze on the one per cent. of off license retailers found to be selling to under-age drinkers earlier this year; and looks forward to a positive outcome from the second phase of the Alcohol Misuse Enforcement Campaign which begins on 15th December.

That this House notes with considerable alarm the number of deaths associated with solvent and volatile substance abuse; is distressed by the violent nature of deaths associated with this form of substance abuse; further notes with unease that solvent abuse results in more deaths annually than the drug Ecstasy; and calls upon the Government seriously to address this form of abuse by designating the abuse of solvents and volatile substances as a criminal offence.

That this House expresses concern about the number of lives lost in road traffic crashes that may have been caused by people driving whilst under the influences of legal and illegal drugs; recognises that in law driving while unfit through drugs is an offence; notes that Transport Research Laboratory tests demonstrated a significant increase between the 1980s and 1990s in the percentage of people testing positive for illegal drugs who have been involved in fatal collisions; welcomes the BMA's launch of its web resources on research that has been undertaken and is currently in progress; and calls on the Government to ensure speedier and more specific and co-ordinated research in order to establish appropriate drug testing devices and to undertake a campaign to educate the public that the side-effects of illegal and certain prescribed drugs can affect their ability to drive.

That this House is alarmed at the increase in dangerous levels of alcohol consumption in the United Kingdom; notes with deep concern the report by Professor Donaldson, the Chief Medical Officer, that cirrhosis of the liver, associated with excessive alcohol consumption, now kills more men than Parkinson's disease and more women than cervical cancer; believes that action to reduce harmful drinking is a matter of great urgency; and calls upon the government to publish and implement its long promised alcohol strategy as soon as possible.
