Alcohol fuelled violence out of control

7.51.13pm GMT Wed 30th Nov 2005

Responding to the publication today of figures on violent crime from the British Crime Survey, Mark Oaten MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, said:

"These figures show that alcohol is now the major driver of violent crime in this country.

"If the Government was really serious about tackling the causes of crime, Ministers would not have gone ahead with 24 hour drinking."
