  4              (1) A relevant person shall ensure that no alcohol is sold or supplied for consumption on or off the premises for a price which is less than the permitted price.

   

                (2) In this condition:-

  a.              “permitted price” is the price found by applying the formula P = D + (D x V), where-

  i.              P is the permitted price,

  ii.              D is the amount of duty chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the duty were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol, and

  iii.              V is the rate of value added tax chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the value added tax were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol;

                (3) Where the permitted price would not be a whole number of pennies, the permitted price shall be taken to be the price rounded up to the nearest penny.

   

                (4) Where the permitted price on a day (“the first day”) would be different from the permitted price on the next day (“the second day”) as a result of a change to the rate of duty or value added tax, the permitted price which would apply on the first day applies to sales or supplies of alcohol which take place before the expiry of the period of 14 days beginning on the second day.

  4              Tesco is a large national operator with a range of head office and local support. The company has devised policies, procedures, systems, and training to ensure that they sell alcohol in a               responsible manner. There is a detailed programme which ensures that comprehensive training is               provided to employees having regard to their role and the responsibilities and such training is regularly reviewed, and records kept.

  5              We will have a digital CCTV system that covers the premises, including the main area which will be used for display of alcohol. Images will be retained for 31 days. A member of the management team will be on the premises all the time the store is open. This colleague will have               responsibility for the premises and will be the initial point of contact for any issues that may arise.

  6              The premises licence holder is fully aware of its responsibilities under a range of health and safety related legislation and has policies and procedures in place to be confident of complying with the relevant obligations which arise.

  7              The company has a “good neighbour” ethos which seeks to ensure that the premises plays an active part in the local community.

  8              The premises will operate a Think 25 policy. The checkouts will be programmed to prompt the customer assistant when an alcohol product is scanned at the checkout to follow the Think 25 policy. All colleagues will receive training in relation to the underlying law and Tesco policy,               systems, and procedures. This training will be documented, and refresher training will be provided on a regular basis.
