Policy Dialogue - UK Cabinet seminar on alcohol pricing policy




In the context of growing policy interest in pricing policy as a tool to address alcohol harms, researchers from ALICE RAP and RAND Corporation organised an invitation-only saminar of policy-makers and researchers working on alcohol pricing and related issues.

The meeting aimed to address some of the specific questions policy-makers in the UK are confronting as they consider policy options, with a focus on excise taxation, minimum pricing, restrictions on promotions and discounts, and bans on below cost sales.
