Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which Departments received funding from revenues from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy during Spending Review 2020.

The Soft Drinks Industry Levy is not linked to any specific programmes, or departmental spending. Departmental spend for children’s food and to promote children’s health is allocated through Spending Reviews. This provides departments with certainty over their programme budgets, as tax revenues vary year-to-year.
