Christopher Snowdon quoted in The Telegraph

The Telegraph has quoted IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics, Christopher Snowdon who warned of the damaging effects of a lower drink driving limit on the pub industry.

The Telegraph wrote:

“Besides, according to Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs, lowering the drink-driving limit in Scotland in 2014 was expected to bring down traffic accidents and road deaths.

“He has been quoted as saying it did nothing but damage the pub trade.”
