That this House deplores the prevalence of under-age drinking that takes place in some areas of the UK; welcomes the pilot Community Alcohol Partnership (CAP) initiative in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, which has brought together the drinks industry, police, trading standards, retailers, schools and the media in a joint effort to tackle this problem; further welcomes the new CAP initiative in Cambridge launched in July which builds on the positive outcomes of the St Neots pilot; and urges the Home Office to examine this project carefully and consider running similar partnership programmes in other parts of the country to test its effectiveness.
