To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to ban the provision of alcohol to children under 18 years in (a) the home and (b) other settings.
Andrea Leadsom
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
The Licensing Act 2003 already includes robust provisions to regulate the supply of alcohol to children under 18 years old. NHS England also publishes guidance advising that children and young people should not drink alcohol before the age of 18 years old. We do not intend to bring forward legislative proposals at this time.
