There are various issues arising in this context. For example, the calorie content in alcohol, which is a health issue. I would have no objection to the indication on alcoholic beverages of calorie content. It is recognised that some beverages, including non-alcoholic beverages, have a huge calorie content and that they have a detrimental effect on people's health. The Minister of State might undertake to consider the matter further as what is provided for in the Bill is not as specific as I would like.
