BOUNCERS

Early day motion 428, tabled 15 March 1999 by Lord Moonie (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 50 members.

That this House congratulates BBC Frontline Scotland on its programme on 'Bouncers', which revealed the lax state of the law in Scotland and the United Kingdom when it comes to the regulation of door staff in pubs and clubs; and calls on the Scottish Office and the Home Office to review these loopholes urgently, and bring in measures to regulate an industry which is long overdue for cleaning up.
