Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 June 2026

Debate

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Contribution

My Lords, the Government’s initiatives on alcohol prevention in pregnancy are to be welcomed and are very impressive, but can the Minister assure us that the industry itself will not be involved in consultations and in designing public health programmes? To date, the tiny pictograms on bottles, particularly of wine and other alcohol products, are so small that they are ineffective. We really need consistent messaging in a much broader sphere where people eat out, drink out and socialise, and in all public health measures.
