Alcohol strategy (No. 2)

Early day motion 1109, tabled 22 March 2022 by Grahame Morris (Labour). Signed by 20 members.

That this House notes that ten years have passed since the last Alcohol Strategy was published on 23 March 2012; recalls that, although the Government announced plans for a new strategy on 8 May 2018, this was not forthcoming; recognises that, since then, the initiatives of the Alcohol Charter, published on 16 October 2018 by APPGs and the Commission on Alcohol Harm report, published on 19 April 2021, provided an informed and widely supported basis for a new strategy; notes with concern that approximately 70 people in the UK die every day from an alcohol-related cause; and calls on the Government to prioritise the introduction of a new comprehensive alcohol strategy without further delay.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Plaid Cymru 3, Independent 2, DUP 1, Green 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
