Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions his Department has had with the soft drink industry on reducing the levels of sugar in their drinks.

Prior to the implementation of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy officials regularly met with stakeholders from across the soft drinks sector to hear their views on the Levy.

So far, over half of all drinks that would otherwise have been in-scope of the levy have reduced their sugar content.
