Alcohol Industry Consultation & Evidence Support
Help alcohol businesses organise business and economic evidence for UK public consultations. Medical evidence is outside our scope.
The commission
What the work covers
Map UK public consultation questions to relevant business, commercial and economic evidence and non-medical published research. Prepare a structured draft that separates documented facts, estimates and the client's stated position for review and approval. We do not work on medical evidence.
How we approach the work
- Confirm consultation scope, deadlines and the client's position.
- Gather authorised business evidence and relevant non-medical published research.
- Draft the response and resolve factual queries before approval.
Scope and boundaries
This service supports UK public consultations only. Medical and clinical evidence, including its preparation, analysis, interpretation or review, is outside this service. Responses identify the commissioning client and traceable evidence, and require approval before submission. Overseas consultation submissions and advocacy to non-UK public authorities are outside scope.

Scope and independence
Lobbying and representation before public authorities are delivered directly by Alcohol Ltd within the UK and only in relation to UK public bodies. We do not undertake or arrange lobbying of foreign governments, legislatures, regulators or international public bodies, directly, remotely or through intermediaries.
International work covers research, commercial analysis, media, publishing and private-sector trade event support. It excludes campaigns to influence non-UK public decisions, representation to non-UK public authorities and arranging others to provide those services.
Published research identifies sources, dates and uncertainties. Any UK client representations are separately agreed, with client identity, conflicts and applicable registration and disclosure requirements checked before contact. Commissioning research does not purchase a predetermined policy conclusion.
Client approval concerns commissioned deliverables and factual checks. Editors retain responsibility for independent publication, corrections and removal decisions. A commercial commission does not buy favourable independent coverage, the suppression of legitimate reporting, editorial endorsement or control over our policy positions. Confidential journalistic sources are not made available through commercial client approval.
Our regulated editorial material follows the Editors' Code of Practice, including accuracy, distinguishing fact from opinion and conjecture, privacy and timely corrections with due prominence. IPSO regulates editorial material within its remit; it does not approve our consultancy, research, PR or lobbying services. Advertising is clearly identified where applicable.
Appointments require an agreed written brief and checks on the client, conflicts, sanctions and any applicable registration, disclosure, data-use and permission requirements before work begins. Scope, fees and responsibilities are agreed separately, subject to our service and jurisdictional terms.
