Alcoholic Drinks: Prices
- Question
- To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what research has been conducted by his Department on the comparative pricing of alcoholic drinks in supermarkets and licensed premises.
- Answer
-
None. The prices an enterprise charges for its products is a commercial matter for the enterprise concerned. Enterprises such as restaurants, pubs and clubs selling alcohol for consumption on their premises are likely to have different cost bases and business models to off licences, shops and supermarkets that sell alcohol for home consumption. Such differences are likely to be reflected in the prices charged to customers.
