Alcohol: Sale to Children

Lord Cormack Excerpts

Wednesday 19th November 2014 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

I totally agree with the first part of the noble Baroness’s question, which she put very clearly—it was all part of the Licensing Act and general deregulation. As I said, there has been no response from health authorities on concerns over chocolate confectionery, but it was covered by the general strand of restricted goods.

[Lord Cormack (Con)]

My Lords, is not the most dangerous ingredient in liqueur chocolates sugar?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

Judging by the unfortunate times when I have had to eat them, yes, it is.
