Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to introduce further measures to prevent the widespread consumption of sugar in the UK.

The fourth report on sugar reduction is expected in 2022. It covers the food and drink included in the programme, as well as drinks subject to the Soft Drinks Industry Levy. It also includes the second year of data for juice and milk-based drinks, not included in the levy.

The Government is receiving expert advice and keeping abreast of international evidence on the implementation of regulatory food and drink policies to consider next steps for sugar reduction and the wider reformulation programme.
