No political consideration has been given to a proposal to allow 16 year-olds in the Island to drink in pubs.

The Licensing Forum is currently looking at measures to try to reduce incidents of young people drinking in public.
Allowing 16 year-olds to drink in a safe and controlled environment is one of several issues under consideration.
Discussions are said to be at a very early stage.
