Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to require health warnings on alcohol product labels.

The Government committed to consult on whether mandatory calorie labelling should be introduced on all prepacked alcohol, as well as alcoholic drinks sold in the out of home sector, for alcohol products over 1.2% ABV. We will also seek views on whether the provision of the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers’ low risk drinking guidelines and a drink driving warning should be mandatory or continue on a voluntary basis.
