Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Department of Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 3 September 2018 to Question 169474 on Alcoholic Drinks: minimum unit pricing, when Public Health England’s review into the impact of minimum unit pricing of alcohol will be published.
This question was answered on 8th July 2019
The Government takes the harms associated with alcohol abuse very seriously and overall consumption of alcohol in England and Wales is on the decline.
There are currently no plans to implement minimum unit pricing in England. However, we will keep this under review as evidence emerges from Scotland.
