Could the Island follow Scotland on alcohol pricing?

IOM Public Health Director welcomes MUP

New laws in Scotland setting minimum unit pricing for alcohol have been welcomed by the Island's Director of Public Health.

Dr Henrietta Ewart says it's something that will be discussed by Island officials.
