Video: Minimum alcohol pricing would 'save lives', says Tory MP Theresa May, the Home Secretary, Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, and Andrew Lansley, the former health secretary, are all understood to have put pressure on the Prime Minister to abandon the plans. Conservative MP Dr Sarah Wollaston says she would be very "disappointed" if the Government drops plans for minimum alcohol pricing as it could "save lives" and help "reduce carnage on the streets."
