SUPERMARKET OFF SALES

Early day motion 1007, tabled 21 February 2008 by Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 36 members.

That this House notes the growth in alcoholic off sales through supermarkets; further notes that young people either shop on their own or with friends or families in supermarkets and that many under-age drinkers acquire alcohol from supermarkets either by purchasing it or stealing it; and believes that such sales or thefts would be reduced if all alcohol were for sale in a licensed designated gated zone.
