Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his Department’s public consultation entitled Calorie labelling for food and drink served outside of the home, which closed on 7 December 2018, how many responses the consultation received; and if he will commit to publish a response to that consultation before the next Parliamentary recess.

The consultation on mandating calorie labelling in the out-of-home sector received a high level of interest with over 1,000 responses from members of the public, businesses and organisations. We will publish the results and set out the timetable for further action later this year.
