I propose to take Questions Nos. 345 and 346 together.
The National Substance Misuse Steering Group is examining a wide range of issues in relation to alcohol policy such as pricing, supply and availability, treatment, prevention, marketing and sponsorship. The Steering Group has not yet completed its work. I expect to receive the report before the end of the year. The members of the National Substance Misuse Strategy Steering Group are as follows:
