On 28 November, the Government launched a consultation on key policies within the alcohol strategy, seeking views on a proposed minimum unit price of 45p.
The Government also published a consultation stage impact assessment which sets out the impact of a 45p minimum unit price on a range of factors—this is available on the Home Office website.
As set out in this published impact assessment, a minimum unit price of 45p will lead to an estimated 5,240 fewer alcohol-related crimes per year, 24,600 fewer alcohol-related hospital admissions per year after 10 years and 714 fewer deaths per year after 10 years. The impact of 45p minimum unit price on consumer prices index inflation is estimated to be +0.2ppts. No estimate is made for a minimum unit price of 50p or 55p.
The University of Sheffield's School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) model has been used to assess the impact of minimum unit pricing on alcohol consumption and alcohol harms. This model was developed in 2009 using the best available data at the time. Where possible, the Government has uprated the price data to account for inflation.
HM Revenue and Customs has also provided an estimate of the Exchequer impact using its existing alcohol model, designed for assessing the impact of a range of alcohol policies on the demand for duty-paid alcohol and the resulting excise duty receipts.
The Government will consider views raised during the consultation and intends to publish a post-consultation impact assessment to reflect the final policy details. The Government also continues to monitor developments and progress in Scotland and will consider any issues arising alongside the consultation.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of (a) the relative calorific values of (i) E10 fuel and (ii) petrol and (b) the potential effect of introduction of E10 fuel on the retail price of petrol.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of (a) the relative calorific values of (i) E10 fuel and (ii) petrol and (b) the potential effect of introduction of E10 fuel on the retail price of petrol.
[133986]
E10 is a petrol-ethanol blend of up to 10% ethanol and is not yet available in the UK. Most petrol sold in the UK contains up to 5% ethanol. Ethanol's energy content is lower than that of petrol (petrol's energy content is 32MJ per litre while ethanol's energy content is 21MJ per litre). This means that E10 has a lower energy density than E5 (about 2% less energy per litre of fuel). Vehicles will be able to travel slightly further with a tank full of E5 than a tank full of E10.
It is for fuel retailers to determine the price of the different products that they sell. However, it seems unlikely that E10 would be priced higher than E5, as there is no requirement on suppliers to change the product they sell.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the potential effect on tax revenues of any prohibition on multi-buy alcohol promotions.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the potential effect on tax revenues of any prohibition on multi-buy alcohol promotions.
[134760]
No estimate of the effect on the Exchequer for a ban on multi-buy alcohol promotions is available.
The Government is currently consulting on a ban on multi-buy alcohol promotions, including analysis of its effects on retailers, consumers and the Exchequer.
HMRC has also commissioned research into consumer responses to pricing and promotion restrictions, and it will be completed in 2013.

I am happy to tell my hon. Friend and constituency neighbour that we will extend our inquiry to cover that point; we have published the terms of reference, but I am sure we can probably still manage to squeeze it in.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proposals they have to enable fuel customers who pay by means of prepayment meters to have access to the lowest tariffs.[HL4124]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proposals they have to enable fuel customers who pay by means of prepayment meters to have access to the lowest tariffs.[HL4124]
The Government are consulting on proposals to ensure that consumers are on the cheapest tariff that suits their preferred payment method.
We are also consulting on proposals to require suppliers to provide personal estimates to their customers of the savings they can make by moving to the cheapest tariff their supplier offers.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government why Marian Price has been detained in Northern Ireland since 16 May 2011; whether they will release her on the grounds of her age and health; and what evidence they are able to locate regarding the royal prerogative of mercy granted her in 1980.[HL4091]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why Marian Price has been detained in Northern Ireland since 16 May 2011; whether they will release her on the grounds of her age and health; and what evidence they are able to locate regarding the royal prerogative of mercy granted her in 1980.[HL4091]
In 1973, Mrs McGlinchey (née Price) was found guilty of causing an explosion and conspiracy to cause an explosion. She was given two life sentences and a separate 20-year sentence for these two offences.
In 1980, due to her ill health she was released early from prison. She was released from the two life sentences by means of a life licence. The royal prerogative of mercy (RPM) was awarded to release her from her separate 20-year sentence.
In May 2011, Mrs McGlinchey’s life licence was revoked by the former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland after a recommendation from the independent Parole Commissioners for Northern Ireland (PCNI) based on information which set out the risk that
she posed to the public. The independent Parole Commissioners are currently undertaking a full review of the case made against Mrs McGlinchey, following their initial recommendation. The full hearing, at which Mrs McGlinchey will have full legal representation, is due to take place early next year.
Consideration of release on compassionate grounds, justified by exceptional circumstances, is a devolved matter for the Minister of Justice for Northern Ireland. If protected information is involved, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland may notify the Department of Justice that a life prisoner is not to be released on compassionate grounds without the Secretary of State’s agreement. The Secretary of State cannot direct release.
The RPM did not apply to the two life sentences which were revoked and that are currently being reviewed by PCNI.
