Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to Sugar Content in Wine Revealed, published by the Alcohol Health Alliance on 16 February 2022, what plans his Department has for improving consumer knowledge on the potential health impacts of alcohol consumption.

We have committed to consult on whether to introduce mandatory calorie labelling on pre-packaged alcohol and alcohol sold in on-trade businesses such as pubs and restaurants in due course. As part of this consultation, we will also seek views on whether the provision of the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers’ low risk drinking guidelines on pre-packed alcohol labels should be mandatory or continue on a voluntary basis.
