To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment she has made of the applicability of the methods utilised in the Cambridgeshire Alcohol Project on a national scale.

Mr. Djanogly: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment she has made of the applicability of the methods utilised in the Cambridgeshire Alcohol Project on a national scale. [171231]

Mr. Coaker: We recognise and greatly welcome the success of Cambridgeshire's award winning "Think 21" alcohol project in driving down the sale of alcohol to under age customers and have begun to assess the best ways in which to promote this scheme nationally.

This work is being taking forward in conjunction with recent national confiscation of alcohol and tackling under-age sales of alcohol campaigns as well as the ongoing responsible alcohol sales campaigns which clamp down on irresponsible retailers who break the law by selling alcohol to children while highlighting the law on under age drinking in public places.
