Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have had any discussions with their partners in the Responsibility Deal about the recent introduction of vodka sorbet in supermarkets.
The Department does not discuss individual products with producers or retailers.
Alcohol units are clearly labelled on individual products so all consumers can make informed choices.
We do have a commitment from over 30 companies to take a billion units of alcohol out of the market by the end of 2015, primarily through improving consumer choice of lower alcohol products.
