A campaign is being launched to raise awareness of Scotland’s minimum unit price for alcohol as ministers prepare to make a recommendation on its level. Health Secretary Shona Robison is due to make a recommendation to MSPs on a minimum unit price next week following a consultation. Health Secretary Shona Robison will recommend a minimum unit price to the Scottish Parliament next week (Jane Barlow/PA). Ms Robison said: “Minimum unit pricing will tackle the scourge of cheap, high-strength drink that causes so much damage to so many families and is going to save the lives of thousands of Scots. “Our consultation on the price of a unit of alcohol recently closed, and I am looking forward to presenting our recommendation to the Scottish Parliament next week.”
