- Draft legislation
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a Scottish Statutory Instrument: The Alcohol (Minimum Price per Unit) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2020 No. 81
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under section 146(2), paragraph 6A(4) of schedule 3 and paragraph 5A(4) of schedule 4 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”). It comes into force on 3 April 2020.
The Order amends the Alcohol (Minimum Price per Unit) (Scotland) Order 2018 (“the 2018 Order”) which specifies the minimum price per unit for alcohol (50 pence).
Article 2(3) of the Order inserts a new article 2A into the 2018 Order. The new article 2A provides that the minimum price per unit specified in article 2 of the 2018 Order does not apply to sales of alcohol to trade.
Article 2(2) of the Order inserts a definition of “sales to trade” into article 1 of the 2018 Order.
A full Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment of the effect of the 2018 Order on the costs and benefit to business, public sector and consumers was prepared by the Scottish Government and a copy of it was placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
