Home Office reprimanded for "dodgy off-licences" comment
Published: 23 July, 2008
UK: Home secretary Jacqui Smith under fire for blaming "dodgy off-licences" for the rise in under-age drinking.
Lowman said the Government is:
Being less advanced than it should be in developing measures to deter young people from wanting to obtain alcohol illegally;
failing to prosecute adults that buy alcohol for under-age consumers;
failing to crack down on the multi-million pound black market in alcohol;
failing to adequately regulate the alcohol market.
