Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when the new Alcohol Strategy will be published.

We are considering the next steps on alcohol policy.

We continue to take action to improve local intelligence, establish effective local partnerships and equip police and local authorities with the right powers to take effective action against alcohol-related crime and harms in the night time economy. Current action to tackle alcohol-related harms includes working to address alcohol related domestic abuse through a training package for frontline professionals with the charity Against Violence and Abuse.
