Home Department
Alcoholic Drinks: Children
Mr. Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offences were recorded in respect of retailers selling alcohol to those aged under 18 years in each year since 1997; how many police cautions were issued; and what the average fine levied was. [154984]
[Official Report, 1 October 2007, Vol. 463, c. 2352W.]
An error has been identified in the table of the written answer given to the hon. Member for Bury St. Edmunds (Mr. Ruffley) on 1 October 2007. The table should have read as follows:
| Retailers selling alcohol to those aged under 18 | ||
| Number of police cautions issued( 1, 2) | Average fine (£) | |
| (1) These data are on a principal offence basis. (2) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative databases generated by the police. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. | ||
