12.00.00am GMT Thu 14th Jan 2010

Commenting on Andy Burnham's remarks that the Government is considering taking action on the price of alcohol, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary and North Norfolk MP, Norman Lamb, said:

"Chaos and confusion reign on what the Government's actual plans are to tackle alcohol misuse.

"Britain is sinking into an epidemic of alcohol-related illness, yet ministers have done nothing for over a decade.

"All experts now agree that the best way to prevent alcohol misuse is to put an end to alcohol being sold at pocket-money prices."
