Mr. William Hannan
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the relationship between the excess consumption of alcohol and crimes of violence, he will appoint a committee of inquiry into this problem to make recommendations.

I do not think that setting up a committee of inquiry into this subject would be a useful approach to the problem.I shall continue to support criminological research on this subject and also the present health education campaign on alcoholism.
