Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Brian Iddon (Labour), on Tuesday, 19 January 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 69 members in total.


OFF-TRADE ALCOHOL SALES

That this House notes the publication of the Mandatory Code for Alcohol Retailers; regrets that the off-trade is not required to uphold similar high standards in its sale of alcohol; further notes that supermarkets' selling of super-cheap alcohol in bulk volumes significantly adds to alcohol harm in the UK; further notes the especially concerning practice of pre-loading, for which the pub trade is not responsible; believes that supermarkets have an important role to play in reducing alcohol harm; and calls on the Government urgently to tackle deep discounting and below-cost selling in the off-trade.
