Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many submissions were received to the Proposal to add folic acid to flour consultation document by the closing date; and when they expect to publish a response.

The folic acid fortification consultation closed on 9 September 2019 and we received 1,442 responses. A post-consultation update is also available on the consultation webpage online only.

We are currently in the process of analysing the consultation responses and will respond in due course.
