Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. How much money has actually been spent to date on these programs since introduction of the tax, and what evidence can the minister provide that there has not been widespread drink substitution amongst young drinkers since the introduction of this tax, with young people choosing to either mix spirits themselves or turn to a wider array of new wine and beer based alcopop drinks which are not subject to the new tax?
