Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Under-16s Energy Drinks Ban

Contribution

What engagement have the Government had with small retailers, especially small corner shops, some of which do not always feel represented by the Association of Convenience Stores, to understand their concerns over violence or abuse when they ask for ID from customers who may appear to be underage?
