Campaigners Call For Minimal Unit Price For Alcohol In England

 

Alcohol in England

CAMPAIGNERS have called for a minimal unit price for alcohol in England after research confirmed that the measure has reduce consumption in some of the heaviest-drinking households in Scotland and Wales.

A 50p minimal unit price was once introduced in Scotland in 2018 and in Wales round the begin of the lockdown last year, and subsequent research have proven that the coverage has had a lasting impact.

Research by Newcastle University posted in the Lancet Public Health journal indicates that the best discounts in ciders and spirits bought have been viewed amongst households that sold the most alcohol.

Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, chairman of the Alcohol Health Alliance, said: “Westminster has said time and time once more that it is ready for proof from Scotland and Wales on minimal unit pricing — meanwhile, eighty human beings a day are loss of life from an alcohol-related cause.

“The proof is right here — it’s time for the authorities to introduce minimal unit pricing in England in order to keep lives, reduce crime and minimize strain on our NHS and emergency services.”

Joanne Good, whose daughter Megan died in her sleep aged sixteen after ingesting sturdy white cider at a party, said: “Alcohol is too low-priced and a long way too regularly ends up in the palms of children.”
