Scottish parties gather for alcohol summit

An all-party meeting aimed at tackling Scotland's alcohol problem is to be held at Holyrood.

The meeting was proposed by opposition parties in a bid to explore alternatives to the government's minimum alcohol pricing policy.

It will be attended by members of the government, as well as Labour, the Tories, Lib Dems and Greens.

The minority SNP government intends to push ahead with minimum pricing despite opposition from a majority of MSPs.
