In Plain English
AI-generatedI don’t have the text or official summary of an actual Alcohol (Harm Reduction) Bill at second reading in the Commons. If you can share the bill’s wording or a link to the Parliament page, I’ll produce an accurate 2–3 sentence plain-English summary, 2–3 key points, and who is affected. If you’d like, I can also provide a hypothetical example to show what such a bill might cover, clearly labelled as illustrative rather than real policy.
Key Points
- Provide clear information on alcohol units with health warnings on packaging.
- Strengthen licensing rules to limit access in high-risk areas and improve enforcement against underage sales.
- Increase funding for public health campaigns, local authority prevention plans, and treatment services to reduce harm.
