Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he expects the final independent market survey on compliance with the Government's Responsibility Deal pledge on alcohol labelling to be published.
As part of the Public Health Responsibility Deal, alcohol retailers and producers have committed to putting on clear unit content, National Health Service guidelines and an agreed warning or a pregnancy warning logo on 80% of labels on bottles and cans by the end of 2013.
Subject to publication of the final independent market survey, we believe that just under 80% of bottles and cans had that information.
