Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 735, 736 and 737 together.

I provided my responses on the proposals for the Sale of Alcohol Bill, and on the General Scheme of the Bill, at relevant cabinet meetings.

My Department was not involved in the development of this Bill as it is the responsibility of my colleague, the Minister for Justice and her Department.

Question No. 736 answered with Question No. 735.

Question No. 737 answered with Question No. 735.
