An agreement on the government’s strategy for tackling alcohol misuse is likely to be reached in the next two weeks with a “a lot of progress” made yesterday, a Minister has said.
Primary care minister Alex White told the media yesterday that the Cabinet is “close to reaching agreement” on the government’s strategy for alcohol with a final memo for Cabinet due within the next two weeks.
Proposals are likely to include a ban on alcohol ads before the 9pm watershed and minimum pricing.
But the proposal to ban alcohol companies’ sponsorship of sports teams and events is to be delayed until alternative sources of funding can be found.
