VOR DEBATE - Sober times for Britain's drinkers

The Home Office say the measures are aimed at changing the behaviour of problem drinkers and irresponsible shops. But critics, including the British Retail Consortium, say that the controls are unfair and penalise the majority, who are responsible drinkers.

VoR’s Daniel Dinna discusses this with his guests: Campbell Evans, Director of Government & Consumer Affairs at the Scotch Whisky Association; Andrew Langford, the Chief-Executive of the British Liver Trust; Chris Snowdon, Fellow from the Adam Smith Institute and co-author of a report on minimal alcohol pricing; and Dr John Middleton, Vice-president for Policy at the UK Faculty of Public Health.
