answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>Clear and accurate alcohol product labelling is crucial to ensuring consumers have access to essential information about the products they are purchasing, whilst also promoting transparency, responsible consumption, and safety.</p><p>Current alcohol labelling guidance recommends that health information, including pregnancy warnings, a drink driving warning, and the Chief Medical Officer’s weekly limit guidance, are included on the label for alcohol products. It is also a legal requirement to display alcohol by volume (ABV) labelling on drinks above the 1.2% ABV threshold.</p><p>The Department has recently consulted on updating labelling guidance for non-alcoholic and low alcohol products. This consultation closed on 23 November 2023, and the consultation response will be published shortly.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 16/05/2024 10:41:28 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

uin	25872
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>Studies have shown that smokers are 30% to 40% more likely to get type 2 diabetes than people who don’t smoke. Smoking can also make managing the condition more difficult, because high levels of nicotine can lessen the effectiveness of insulin. Such studies have focussed on the impact of nicotine contained within cigarettes, rather than alternative nicotine delivery methods, and the National Health Service recommends that smokers with diabetes should try to quit.</p><p>As stated during the Tobacco and Vapes Bill Committee on 14 May 2024, the Department is currently exploring research options to address these evidence gaps in the short, medium, and longer term. I will be setting out further details on this very soon.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 16/05/2024 10:44:53 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
