They said on the radio that they would if the measures were successful in Scotland.

I commend Jack's post though . Politicians need to think about the future of the country and not their own future

Hmm. to be honest i think it's an ok idea.. but it probably won't solve much. They just seem to be avoiding the actual issue here. They should be educating people in the dangers of alcohol abuse and binge drinking, not just putting the prices up and hoping it'll make people drink less.
There will probably be some kind of loophole allowing them to give out free drinks anyway
