Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Alcohol Strategy.
Alcohol Strategy
A minimum price for alcohol is something that I have campaigned on, and I am delighted that, on this issue at least, the Government are listening to the health professionals, who warn that we are losing nearly £3 billion a year on alcohol-related disease. Without pre-judging the outcome of the consultation, will the Home Secretary acknowledge that the university of Sheffield suggests that a unit price of 50p is more effective? Why has her strategy not included the really important issue of alcohol advertising?
