Other Product Regulation

HM Treasury has opened a consultation on the Soft Drinks Industry Levy which was announced at the 2016 Budget.

Following plans announced in the Queen’s Speech to ban psychoactive drugs, the Home Affairs Committee is holding a short inquiry into the likely impact of the proposed new laws. This will look at a range of issues, including the steps the Government should take to educate groups affected by the ban about the dangers, and to provide specialist treatment for users; and whether enforcement agencies have the necessary powers and resources to implement the legislation.
