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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether plans to support productivity and growth in the food and drink sectors are in conflict with other Government priorities to reduce obesity and alcohol-related harm.

There is no conflict between plans to support growth and productivity in the food and drink industry with other Government priorities relating to obesity and alcohol related harm. We want to expand UK food and drink production so that we can displace imports and increase our exports. We aim to see more consumers benefit from access to our world-beating, high quality and nutritious food.
