Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will undertake stakeholder engagement on alcohol marketing with consumer groups as well as businesses, before launching a public consultation on revised proposals on restricting alcohol advertising and promotion.
Answer
In developing narrower proposals on alcohol marketing the Scottish Government will take account of both the potential public health benefits as well as potential impacts on industry, business and consumers. The next phase in this work will be targeted engagement early in 2024, which will include engagement with a range of stakeholders including those representing business and consumer interests.
