Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to extend the soft drinks industry levy to milk replacement drinks containing sugar; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 18th July 2019
Milk substitute drinks derived from plants are currently exempt from the soft drinks industry levy. At the time of the introduction of SDIL the Government committed to review this in 2020.
The government has no plans to extend SDIL at the present time.
