Non BBPA members are encouraged to sign up too.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Pubs can deliver this commitment through a range of actions such as offering a house wine below 12.5%, actively promoting lower-alcohol products in their pubs, offering at least one non/lower alcohol beer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Consumers have shown support for lower-alcohol products. This is demonstrated by the commitment to remove a billion units of alcohol from the market being achieved two years ahead of the target date and being 0.3 billion more than the target 1 billion reduction.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The reduction in the average strength of alcohol in the market has mainly been achieved by reductions in the average strength of beer - accounting for 1.2 billion of the 1.3 billion total reduction.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Pubs and shops also committed to voluntarily display unit and health information. Ipsos Mori carried out an independent survey this year, of whether the public saw such information. Their report found that over a quarter of respondents reported seeing a BBPA information image; over two in five 18-24 year-olds reported seeing at least one BBPA image; over a quarter of respondents have seen something similar, but different, to BBPA materials; more than half those seeing different materials also reported seeing BBPA materials.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 29/01/2015 17:04:04 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
