Energy Drinks
Asked by: Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Wednesday 4th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what they expect the timeline to be for bringing forward energy drinks age-of-sale legislation. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is taking decisive action on obesity, easing the strain on our National Health Service and creating the healthiest generation of children ever. As part of this, we will fulfil our commitment to ban the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children aged under 16 years old, introducing the ban within this Parliament. We ran a 12-week consultation, which was open from 3 September 2025 to 26 November 2025. The Department is currently reviewing all submissions to the consultation and will set out a formal consultation response, and further information on our timelines, in due course. |

Energy Drinks
Asked by: Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Wednesday 4th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what lessons they have learnt from the review and updating of previous age-restricted sales legislation; and how those lessons will inform the approach to keeping any future energy drinks age-of-sale legislation under review as new products enter the market and consumption patterns evolve. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government continues to learn from the implementation of previous age-restricted sales legislation. We recognise the importance of clear guidance, proportionate enforcement arrangements, and ensuring legislation is responsive to evidence, development in products, sales channels, and consumer behaviour. Any future age of sale measures for energy drinks will be designed with these considerations in mind. We are reviewing consultation responses and will set out next steps in due course. The consultation specifically asked for views on our proposals for how the age restrictions will be enforced and its impact on local government. Decisions on resourcing and enforcement will be taken alongside wider policy design and parliamentary scrutiny. |
