PRICE OF ALCOHOL IN SUPERMARKETS AND OFF-LICENCES
Early day motion 495, tabled 13 December 2006 by John Grogan (Labour). Signed by 194 members.
That this House believes that the substantial price differential between alcohol sold in pubs and that sold in the off-trade is exacerbating the problem of binge drinking; continues to support the pub trade's efforts to curb irresponsible drinking and promotions; and urges supermarkets and off-licences to follow the example of pubs and act to end irresponsible drinks promotions and agree not to use alcohol as a loss leader on their premises.
