Health: Alcohol

Debate between Baroness Finlay of Llandaff and Baroness Stowell of Beeston

Thursday 12th May 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Massey of Darwen (Lab)]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that attempts to alert the general public are often too little, too late?

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)]

My Lords, it is the turn of the Cross Benches.

[Baroness Finlay of Llandaff]

I declare my interest as president of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
