answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2022 answer text <p>The costs to businesses were considered in the Government’s impact assessment for the placement restrictions, published in December 2020. The impact assessment show that the costs for businesses are expected to be £423 million per year, with transition costs for the first year, to implement the placement restrictions expected to be £47 million. While we recognise the costs associated with implementation, the costs of obesity to individuals, society and the National Health Service are considerable and the benefits from reducing calorie intakes across the population are substantial.</p><p> </p><p>Following consultation in 2020, we made a number of exemptions to the placement restrictions to ease the impact on businesses where appropriate. Micro and small businesses are out of scope of the restrictions entirely, with only medium and large businesses with 50 or more employees subject to the restrictions. Stores that are smaller than 185.8 square metres will be exempt from the location restrictions, as well as specialist retailers which sell one type of food product category, such as chocolatiers or confectioners.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 29/06/2022 13:24:25 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
