UK: New drink laws having a positive effect, says pub sector

The British Beer and Pub Association said that Britain’s brewing and pub sector has welcomed the announcement on February 8 of significant falls in alcohol-related violent crime.

Mark Hastings, Director of Communications for the British Beer and Pub Association, comments: “Clearly, the combination of flexible opening hours and law enforcement is having a positive impact. Communities are seeing a reduction in violent crime and the pub trade is seeing positive changes in drinking patterns and behaviour. The projections of Government and the industry have proved far closer to the truth than the prophesies of the peddlers of doom and gloom.”

The British Beer and Pub Association is the UK’s leading organisation representing the brewing and pub sector. Its members account for 98% of the beer brewed in the UK and own nearly two thirds of Britain’s 59,000 pubs.
