A House of Lords Select Committee review of Manchester argues restrictive licensing reduced drunkenness and improved conduct, while off licences undermine gains. Data show rising total apprehensions, shifting gender and Sunday patterns, and many pubs and beerhouses lacking traveller accommodation. Magistrates oppose new licences, urging tighter control and immediate halt to additional off licences.
