Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 23 March 2021.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to ensure that there will be appropriate opportunity for parliamentary scrutiny of the proposed restrictions on the promotion and placement of foods high in fat, sugar and salt.
The Government intends to use powers in the Food Safety Act 1990 to lay secondary legislation before Parliament by mid-2021. Subject to progress in Parliament, we will then allow at least a six-month implementation period before the restrictions come into force in April 2022.
