answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2021 answer text <p>The impact assessment for further advertising restrictions for products high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) shows a positive net value, meaning the health benefits outweigh the costs to business and the Government. It also presents the number of calories removed from a child’s diet each day as a result of the restrictions. This is a population wide estimate and does not reflect that this policy could most benefit children from lower income households who are more exposed to HFSS advertising and those who are already overweight or obese.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/07/2021 10:44:43 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

We have engaged with industry throughout impact assessment’s consultation period and believe the values quoted in the impact assessment are robust.</p><p> </p><p>Both the costs to business and health benefits gained from restricting placement of products high in fat, salt and sugar were modelled by Department analysts and publicly consulted on. The final impact assessment was revised in light of evidence and responses submitted through consultation. The impact assessment has gone through a rigorous review process including receiving a ‘fit for purpose’ rating from the Regulatory Policy Committee, an independent committee sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, who ensure that costs to business have been considered appropriately.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/07/2021 10:42:11 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2021 answer text <p>Non-regulatory options have been considered as insufficient to reduce the excess purchasing and therefore overconsumption of products high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS). Previous voluntary actions by retailers, including through measures such as the public health responsibility deal, had limited impact. Businesses have also stated that voluntary action on promotions is not feasible.</p><p>We want to create a level playing field in which stores that make voluntary progress are no longer penalised. The response to the consultation on restricting promotions of HFSS food and drink made clear the Government’s intention to use powers in the Food Safety Act (FSA) 1990 to lay secondary legislation before Parliament by mid-2021. That position remains.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/04/2021 08:57:45 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
