Question

Brian Paddick, You seem to be suggesting on your website that increasing drunkeness on the streets of London is caused by a lack of trading standards officers to supervise alcohol sales. If you really believe that this is the root of the problem doesn't it show that you lack the qualities required to really improve the lives of londoners?

Answer

What I actually said was that because of recent cuts in Government grant many councils are struggling to fund important public services like Trading Standards Officers, and this means that those who remain are hard pressed to help tackle under- age drinking. What I offer is experience in actually dealing with these problems and working with ALL agencies who can help to deliver solutions. One, underfunded, service on its own can’t be expected to solve the problem.
