Written Answers
Alcoholic Drinks: Labelling Asked by: Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Labour - Life peer) Friday 29th November 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the value of Government-funded research into the impact of calorie labelling on alcohol products, given that such information has been provided on other drinks for many years. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department commissioned a National Institute for Health and Care Research study on understanding the impact of alcohol calorie labelling on alcohol and calorie selection, purchasing, and consumption. This study is underway, and due to end in 2026. The findings from this work will be useful in showing the potential impact of calorie labelling on reducing calorie intake and alcohol consumption. Under our Health Mission, the Government is committed to prioritising preventative public health measures to support people to live longer, healthier lives. The Department will continue to work across Government to determine the best ways to reduce alcohol-related harms.
Driving under Influence Asked by: Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 4th December 2024 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to lower the blood alcohol content limit for driving. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) This Government takes road safety seriously, and we are committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads. We are currently considering policy options in this area. Since the general election, the Department has also begun work on a new Road Safety Strategy, the first in over a decade. The Department will share more details in due course.
Undocumented Migrants Asked by: Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Labour - Life peer) Monday 9th December 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of illegal immigrants residing in the UK. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) By its very nature, it is not possible to know the exact number of people living in the UK illegally, or produce official estimates of that illegal population. In June 2019, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published a note on ‘measuring illegal migration’, which can be found here: Measuring illegal migration: our current view - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk).
