Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what representations he has received on dietary advice on the recommended level of fat in diet.

The Government’s advice on saturated fats consumption remains unchanged for now. Following receipt of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition’s final advice on saturated fat, Public Health England and other Government bodies will consider whether Government advice on saturated fats requires updating.

A search of the Department’s Ministerial correspondence database has identified no items of correspondence received since December 2017 about dietary advice on the recommended level of fat in diet. This figure represents correspondence received by the Department’s Ministerial correspondence unit only.
