§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans the Government have to introduce health warnings on the dangers of alcohol on the containers of alcoholic drinks. [49450]
§ Ms JowellWe believe that if alcohol is consumed in accordance with the guidance in Sensible Drinking it is not likely to be harmful to a person's health. We, therefore have no plans to require health warnings to be displayed on alcohol containers. However, we fully support the initiative of a number of manufacturers and retailers in introducing unit labelling on their packaged products on a voluntary basis to support our sensible drinking messages.
