Under our Health Mission, this government is committed to prioritising public health measures to support people to live longer, healthier lives. We do not currently have any plans to introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol in England. We are continuing to work closely across government to better understand what can be done to address the drivers of alcohol-related harms.
