Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have carried out an impact assessment of the potential effect of lowering drink-driving limits on consumer behaviour in (1) rural communities, and (2) rural pubs.

An academic study following the reduction in the drink drive limit in Scotland in 2014 showed no impact on the hospitality industry. All evidence received as part of the consultation process will be considered before any decisions are made.
