The Public Health (Alcohol) Bill was enacted in October 2018. In November I commenced 23 of the 31 Sections of the Act.

I am continuing to progress the remaining sections of the Act and will seek a revised Government Decision to implement the Minimum Unit Pricing provision, which addresses low-cost selling of alcohol once there is more certainty in relation to the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union and its impacts.
