I wish to raise the issue of labelling on alcohol products. In the public health (alcohol) Bill we will include measures on the health labelling of alcohol products. We recognise that consumers can look up the ingredients and know what they will consume. This was thwarted at EU level. I wonder why that happened and what will be done to ensure that consumers know what they are drinking and that this information is on the labels of alcoholic drinks?
