Tom Johnston's guide to the new Alcohol Act

Tom Johnston has been commissioned to write a guide to the Alcohol etc (Scotland) Act for the licensed trade. The booklet, with a print run of 30,000, will be circulated to every convenience store and cash and carry in Scotland.

The work has been commissioned by The Scottish Wholesale Association and Scottish Grocers’ Federation. The idea came about after Tom gave a series of presentations throughout the country to SGF and SWA members. It was made possible by sponsorship from some of the major players in the Scottish drinks industry, and is intended to promote responsible retailing in accordance with the new law effective from 1 October 2011, and published Government guidance.
