Alcoholic Drinks: Delivery Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of alcohol delivery services on (a) consumption and (b) public health.
- Answer
-
The Department has not made an assessment of the impact of alcohol delivery services on consumption of alcohol or public health.
The delivery of alcohol is regulated under the Licensing Act 2003, responsibility for which rests with the Home Office. The Government recognises that consumer purchasing habits have evolved in recent years, particularly with a notable growth in alcohol sales made via online platforms and rapid delivery services. I recently convened a roundtable with Minister Jones, the Minister for Policing and Crime, to explore this issue further and discuss potential solutions.
