Have your say on alcohol-related behaviour in your area

News story
Wednesday 2 Sep 2009
Last year, in response to growing public concern about the harms associated with the misuse of alcohol, the Law Commission was asked to review the law governing the sale and supply of alcohol. This request was subsequently reaffirmed by the incoming Government and the Commission's reporting time frames brought forward by Justice Minister Rt Hon Simon Power.
The project is the most fundamental review of the law on the sale and supply of liquor since the Sale of Liquor Act 1989 was passed. There have been profound changes in the intervening
20 years: beer and wine are now sold in supermarkets; the age of purchase has been reduced from 20 to 18 years; Sunday trading has been extended.
