Minimum Alcohol Pricing
Date: 28 March 2012
Following the UK Governments announcement on Friday 23 March that they intended to introduce a minimum price-per-unit for all alcohol sold in the UK, there were claims in the press that minimum pricing would be contrary to EU law.
Angus MacCulloch analysed this claim and posted, on the EUtopialaw.com blog, his view that the such a challenge was unlikely to be successful. That post was subsequently picked up by the Guardian law section and re-posted there.
