"The term “Intercreditor Agreement” seems to imply more than one creditor. Assuming PCC is one, who would the other(s) be? PFA? REL? Have they signed anything? " An intercreditor agreement is a contract between more than one creditor that sets out who has priority in the case of default In most businesses the bank first, other secured creditors next and then everyone else. Of course, the law about employees, tax payments also intervene However, I would expect a big argument behind the scenes with each party saying they will not put their money in unless they are top creditor

Surely starting to regulate price to stop deals where alcohol is cheaper than water is focusing on abuse? Minimum price of 45p per unit is too low to stop normal social drinking and certainly will not affect pubs and clubs

Disagree - alcohol abuse is a massive problem in the UK, and we are storing up huge problems for the future especially for women Just because most people do not want to face up to the effect of their habits and many are in denial as to their true drink intake, it does not degate the fact that the Government should remind people that alcohol is basically a poison The only way to reduce alcohol consumption is to increase price (through regulation) and reduce availability (through licensing) All IMHO
