• if, of the pricing options considered, MUP for alcohol is the most effective way of achieving the policy aim;
• what information or evidence should be considered when setting a MUP for alcohol and the level MUP should be set at initially;
• if the level of the MUP should be varied over time and, if so, how;
• the mechanisms for setting the MUP, including the formula and how it will be monitored; and
• any other information that you feel should be taken on board in respect of the policy or the various impact assessments.
