Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will take steps to encourage consumption of plant-based milks.

The Government does not promote the consumption of one category of food over another but wants consumers to have access to a range of healthy and nutritious food and drink, as set out in the Eatwell Guide, to suit dietary tastes. This includes both animal products and alternative options.
