The cost is one element. The federation has called for action in that regard. However, we are interested in anti-social behaviour associated with alcohol abuse and misuse. Alcohol is available in every newsagent and garage. One sees cheap alcohol stacked high. Do the witnesses have a view on the issue? It has been proposed, for instance, that alcohol would be served at a separate till in a separate part of a shop unconnected with groceries. What is the view of the witnesses on that?
