On yesterday's Newsnight, Michael Howard stated that the EU had

challenge this - I'd guess, like me he didn't know what was being
referred to. And despite some Googling, I can't find out either.

And then stated it was very likely to do the same with a UK one in
the pipeline. Which wasn't expanded on or challenged either.

I'd be surprised if the UK government introduced a bill they knew
would be against EU law, but who knows? If anyone can explain both
of his statements, I'd be grateful.

The nearest I can find is that the EU *might* overturn the Scottish
government's *proposal* (law not yet passed) for minimum alcohol
pricing, saying it *might* be in contravention of free-trade laws.
Note the caveats. This of course has been jumped on by some as being
set in tablets of stone.

Whether it is or isn't overtured isn't the point - the simple fact that
the such a local law can even be looked at by the EU is!

Rather typical of one who simply reads headlines. Exactly how the meja
shapes the opinions of the gullible.

If you did a little research, you'd soon find out the reason why the EU
got involved. But knowing at least some of the true facts isn't what a
lynch party wants.
