Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the potential merits of renaming the National Food Strategy as the National Food and Drink Strategy to recognise the impact of drinks on diet.

The Good Food Cycle, published in July 2025, identifies for the first time the outcomes we want from the food system. It is the first part of an on‑going programme to create a healthier, more affordable, sustainable and resilient food system. The Government recognises the importance of drinks in the diet and the Good Food Cycle considers the food system as a whole, including drinks.
