§ Miss Melanie JohnsonThe Government's alcohol harm reduction strategy for England charges the Department of Health and the Home Office with consulting the alcohol industry on die introduction of a voluntary social responsibility scheme. The strategy recommends that, as part of this scheme, the drinks industry should be strongly encouraged to display information on sensible drinking and on the unit content of drinks. We look forward to working with the industry and other key stakeholders on this voluntary social responsibility scheme.
