Children: Alcohol Harm
Debate between Baroness Williams of Trafford and Lord McColl of Dulwich
Baroness Williams of Trafford
My Lords, I answered three of the questions asked by the noble Lord, Lord Brooke. On the point of lobbying by other industries, I do not know of any industries that have lobbied the Government, but I can write to the noble Baroness and confirm that. The Government have requested the drinks industry to take responsibility, or else we will.
Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con)
My Lords, is the Minister aware that the advice given to pregnant women not to drink alcohol is as old as the hills—3,000 years old? The mother of Samson was told when she was pregnant not to have alcohol.
