court judges in Edinburgh resumed hearing arguments about the Scottish | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
government's policy of imposing a minimum unit price for alcohol. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson reports. | :00:30. | :00:43. | |
It is a was four years since the Scottish Parliament legislated for a | :00:44. | :00:56. | |
minimum price of alcohol. But the policy remains in the shell. The | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
charity alcohol focus Scotland published a survey on how cheap | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
alcohol can be and found 18p per unit which would always trouble if | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
they policy of the government were unit which would always trouble if | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
to be introduced. -- almost trebled. Wine could be bought for 32p per | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
unit and vodka for 36p. Both would have to increase in price | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
significantly. It is reignited the garden was before the Court of | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Session which resumed its hearing today. The price of most ranks has | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
not risen in the five years since the last alcohol focus survey and | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
then a recovering economy that makes it relatively affordable but the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
charity says in that period delays the invitation of the minimum | :01:40. | :01:43. | |

fundamentally the Scottish Whisky Association membership have to look | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
in word and asked themselves as a continuing and prepared to continue | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
to put profits before the health of the people of Scotland. " The | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
government lawyer argued alcohol consumption has recently risen and | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
ministers are concerned it could be a trend that the Scots Whisky | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Association said Wallace supports efforts to reduce the harm caused | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
welcome whole the legislation of the government will not address it. We | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
believe that lower unit pricing will not tackle the core of the problem | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
and will not tackle those people in Scotland who drink too harmful and | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
hazardous levels. There are better and much more targeted approaches | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
and minimum unit pricing is a blended approach which does not | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
differentiate between those who drink responsibly, most people in | :02:42. | :02:43. | |

Lee urges the court to rule that the government policy would go against | :02:53. | :02:56. | |

The RMT union says Scotrail guards have voted overwhelmingly in favour | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
of strike action in a dispute over driver-only trains. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
No timetable's been set for industrial action. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
That's due to be considered soon by the union executive. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
But ScotRail management question the support for a strike. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Nearly half of our people and not in him all of strike action. -- are not | :03:47. | :03:56. | |

catastrophic, but the company made clear today they don't | :06:17. | :06:31. | |
want to lay off staff. We are fortunate that we have | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
the carrier programmes, and we would like to explore how we can | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
use our employees on the Clyde to support those programmes | :06:38. | :06:40. | |

far less visible. So, we sent our political | :07:19. | :07:25. | |

there is nothing like the Not much going on, nothing | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
coming in the door. Election fatigue could be one | :07:51. | :08:06. | |
factor, we have at the European Parliament election, | :08:07. | :08:22. | |
