Safe, sensible, social: consultation on further action

Safe sensible social: the next steps in the National Alcohol Strategy, was published in June 2007 and set out the positive role that alcohol plays in British society but also the harm it can cause, the public demand for action to reduce both excess consumption and harm, and the actions the Government then planned to take. The Department of Health has now launched a consultation on whether there is a need for further regulation of alcohol retailing. The consultation closes on 14 October.
