Minimum pricing shelved

As reported by the new-look Freedom2Choose.info website.

Since there is a legal dispute as to the competence of the Scottish Parliament on minimum pricing that will take years to sort out, the Scottish Licensed Trade Association would do well to focus its efforts in supporting our call for a review of the smoking ban. Paul Waterson and the Association clearly recognise the impact of the smoking ban on the hospitality trade.

Reviewing, and amending, the smoking ban is clearly within the competence of the Scottish Parliament.
