Asked by: Wells, Annie (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Glasgow)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it has made any assessment of the potential impact on families of including meal deals and temporary price reductions on food by supermarkets, in light of the current cost of living crisis and increasing prices.

Answered by Minto, Jenni - Minister for Public Health and Women's Health

The public consultation on the detail of proposed regulations to restrict promotions of food and drink high in fat, sugar or salt closed on 21 May 2024. Consultation responses are now being analysed and the feedback will be used as part of the policy decision-making process, alongside a range of other available information and evidence.

A suite of impact assessments is also being developed to consider and understand as far as possible how different population groups may be impacted by the policy. This includes an Equality Impact Assessment and Fairer Scotland Duty assessment, which will consider, amongst other things, potential impacts in respect of cost of living pressures.
