Pricing policy on alcohol products - along with measures for the policy areas of prevention strategies, treatment, rehabilitation, alcohol and substance dependency, and research and information - is one of the areas being considered by the National Substance Misuse Strategy Steering Group that was established in 2009. The report of the Steering Group is close to completion; I expect to receive proposals in the coming months and I will then brief my colleagues in Government on these. But in the meantime, I won't pre-empt the work of the Group.
