Energy Drinks: Children

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the answer of 8 July 2026 to question 14817, what specific representations his Department made on behalf of the vending industry to the Department for Health and Social Care.

Answer

The Department regularly engages with the Department of Health and Social Care on a range of issues affecting business sectors. This has included consideration of the impacts of policy proposals on businesses and implementation considerations. However, it would not be appropriate to disclose further details of internal Government policy discussions, as doing so could prejudice the effective development of Government policy.
