question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have made an assessment of the report <i>Four Nations – How Evidence-based are Alcohol Policies and Programmes Across the UK?</i> published in November by the Alliance for Useful Evidence<i>, </i>and if so, what lessons they have drawn for their own plans to reduce alcohol-related harm.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2015 answer text <p>We have noted the report. It misrepresents the Government’s position on minimum unit pricing and health as a licensing objective. Minimum unit pricing will remain under review whilst we monitor carefully the legal developments and the implementation of this policy in Scotland. We have consulted on health as a licensing objective and will continue to look at its feasibility.</p><p>Our assessment of alcohol-related harm is that it costs society over £21 billion per year. To address this we will build on the 2012 Alcohol Strategy to tackle alcohol as a driver of crime and support people to stay healthy, while working with partners at a local and national level to reduce the impact of alcohol misuse.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 25/11/2015 12:33:01 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
