The Scottish Parliament is currently considering new legislation that contains far reaching proposals about the sale of alcohol. Some of the proposals contained in the Bill, especially the proposal to introduce a minimum price for a unit of alcohol, are in line with principles supported by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland consistently since 1983 and most recently in 2009. This proposal has attracted opposition from the Scotch Whisky Association as well as the main opposition parties.
The Church and Society Council have produced campaign materials to support the minimum pricing proposals, the materials contain:
• background information on the Alcohol Bill,
• evidence to justify the proposals and
• sample letters you can send to alcohol producers and your MSPs.
