	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>Public Health England’s evidence review, <em>‘The Public Health Burden of Alcohol and the Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of Alcohol Control Policies’</em>, which was published in 2016 and updated in 2018, found there is strong evidence for an association between alcohol consumption and female breast cancer, and that for breast cancer, any level of drinking increases your risk so there is no ‘safe’ level of drinking. A copy of the review is attached.</p><p>The Government believes in informing and empowering citizens and has a responsibility to provide the most up to date, clear information to enable people to make informed choices about their drinking. The 2016 United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers’ low risk drinking guidelines provide the public with the most up to date scientific information and highlight the risk of a range of health problems, including breast cancer, from alcohol consumption.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 29/04/2024 16:52:17 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham attachment 1 file name alcohol_public_health_burden_evidence_review_update_2018 (2).pdf title alcohol_public_health_burden_evidence_review

	uin	HL4050
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>The Government’s vision, set out in the policy paper, <em>The Best Start for Life: A Vision for the 1,001 Critical Days</em>, is that every parent and carer has access to high quality infant feeding services in their local area. A copy of the paper is attached.</p><p>Through the Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme, we are investing £50 million in infant feeding services, enabling participating local authorities to design and deliver a blended offer of advice and support in line with local needs. The investment is being used to increase the range of advice and specialist support available, helping to ensure all mothers and families can meet their breastfeeding goals. We are also using programme investment to increase the capacity of the National Breastfeeding Helpline so that a greater number of families are able to access this support. In March 2024, we launched a trial of extended helpline opening hours so that support and advice will be available at any time of the day or night, every day of the year.</p><p>Regulations are in place that require employers to provide a suitable area for breastfeeding mothers. This must be hygienic and private so they can express milk if they choose to and include somewhere to store their milk.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 29/04/2024 16:47:06 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham attachment 1 file name The_best_start_for_life_a_vision_for_the_1_001_critical_days (9).pdf title The_best_start_for_life_a_vision

	tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
	uin	HL4089
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>The Nursery Milk Scheme allows early years childcare settings such as childminders and nurseries to reclaim the cost of providing one-third of a pint of milk to children under five years old who attend their childcare setting for at least two hours per day. Schools are also allowed to claim under this scheme in respect of pupils under the age of five years old. There are no current plans to extend the Nursery Milk Scheme to cover other school pupils.</p><p>The School Food Standards require lower-fat or lactose free milk to be available in all schools. From the age of five years old onwards, pupils eligible for benefits-based free school meals are eligible for free school milk. In addition, the school milk subsidy scheme subsidises the cost of milk and certain milk products for children in primary and secondary schools including over fives. This means that participating schools can sell the products in schools at a lower price. More information on this scheme is available on GOV.UK in an online-only format.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 29/04/2024 16:41:17 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
