§ Mr. Nigel GriffithsTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions he has held on the presentation of information on units of alcohol on the labels of alcohol containers; and what plans the Government have for the introduction of information on units of alcohol on the labels of alcohol containers. [22449]
§ Mrs. BrowningThe 1992 White Paper "Health of the Nation" said that there would be discussions with trade bodies on a possible format for voluntary display of alcohol units at point of sale. A working party of officials and the interests concerned made some progress, but decided to await the report of the inter-departmental working party on sensible drinking. That report was published in December 1995. Discussions are now taking place with the interests to see what further progress can be made on display of alcohol units.
