A public health charity has urged Nicola Sturgeon’s successor to “stand firm” on banning alcohol advertising after Humza Yousaf promised to rip up current plans.
Dr Alastair MacGilchrist from the Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems warned against “caving in” to “far-fetched claims” by industry on booze marketing curbs.
In an interview with the Record, Yousaf said he was in favour of scrapping a Government consultation which has considered banning alcohol sponsorship for sports and live events.
