Following receipt of the third Compliance Report on the RRAI Code of Practice on the Display and Sale of Alcohol in Mixed Trading Premises in October last, I launched a public consultation process inviting views on the Report and, more generally, on the voluntary approach to implementing structural separation of alcohol products in supermarkets, convenience stores and similar outlets. Submissions were subsequently received from a broad range of organisations, including public health bodies, several supermarket chains and other interested parties. Following examination of all the submissions received, I expect to be in a position to seek Government approval for proposals relating to future arrangements for the display and sale of alcohol products in mixed trading outlets in the coming weeks.
