VfS Key Theme 5: Science & technology Today’s VoteTopic:
It’s nearly time for the results of the general election held on July 4th . Throughout the campaign, politicians have been announcing their plans and promises to try and win votes.
If we form the new Government, we will…
It’s time for…
Our party promises… My plan is… We will commit to…
Many of the political parties have announced plans that would affect young people. One of the major parties, the Labour Party, announced a pledge to ban under-16s buying energy drinks.
This policy would impact your age group. What do you want to say about this idea? Do you think this policy would be popular with voters? Today, you are voting on: “Should energy drinks be banned for under-16s?”
Energy drinks generally contain high levels of caffeine. This drug can be found in other drinks like tea and coffee and some other soft drinks including cola.
Caffeine: A stimulant chemical that is found in food and drink made from some plants, including coffee, tea and chocolate.
Stimulant: A substance, such as a drug, that makes the mind or body more active.
The Labour Party’s plan is to ban under-16s from buying energy drinks that contain more than 150mg of caffeine per litre. This would include drinks such as Red Bull and Monster, but would not include tea, coffee, Lucozade and Coca-Cola as there is less than 150mg of caffeine in these.
There’s quite a few issues linked to energy drink use and young people. Let’s get a better idea of what is going on.
Individual activity (4-5 mins)
How much do you know about energy drinks? Complete the statements from the options given.
Up to a third of UK
Up to _____ of UK children drink energy drinks every week. a quarter a third half
A B C
Most UK supermarkets have _________ a voluntary ban on the sale of energy drinks to under-16s. blocked considered introduced introduced a voluntary ban on
A 500ml can of Monster Energy contains 160mg of or five cans of Coca-Cola. 2 Opening a can of worms

A B C 7% 17% 27%
The high sugar and caffeine in energy drinks has been found to cause young people problems with ______. anxiety stress tooth decay The high sugar and caffeine in energy people problems with anxiety, stress and tooth decay.
It’s not only the Labour Party who have talked about plans for high sugar and caffeine drinks that can harm young people. The Conservative Party, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party (SNP) all have ideas too.
Individual activity (3-5 mins)
Take an imaginary can in your hand and let’s read some ideas about energy drinks. How much do you agree with the idea shown? Keep your imaginary can of drink on the table if you completely disagree. Raise your imaginary can if you somewhat agree. Take a drink from your imaginary can if you completely agree!
The Conservatives had planned to ban under-16s from buying energy drinks. But, in 2022, they decided not to because of concerns about stopping people’s personal choices.
To tackle an obesity crisis, the SNP are planning to stop crisps and fizzy drinks being a part of meal deals.
The Liberal Democrats say they would increase taxes on juice-based and milk-based drinks that are high in added sugar. This is already done for sugary soft drinks. This would make these drinks more expensive to buy.
For this election, the Conservatives have announced a pledge for a £200m “dental recovery plan”, which includes cash bonuses for dentists taking on new NHS patients and for working in underserved areas.
Before elections, politicians make promises to try and win votes. Some policies are popular with different people.
I think this idea is…
I don’t agree with this plan…
I like some of this plan, perhaps we could…
What about if we…
I don’t think this idea goes far enough, you should…
The Labour Party’s health spokesperson Wes Streeting had this to say about Labour’s energy drinks plans: “We're responding to concerns from parents and teachers about the extent to which kids, particularly teenagers, but I've heard examples of kids as young as nine, being wired on these sorts of drinks.”
Recently, you discussed the Conservative Party’s plan to bring back national service for young people. Today you are considering another political pledge affecting young people: Labour’s idea about energy drinks.
Class discussion (2-3 mins) Should young people get to decide whether energy drinks should be banned for under-16s?
Now’s your chance to vote on: “Should energy drinks be banned for under-16s?”
Banning them will really help some people. There won’t be a choice about buying one on the way to school.
We really don’t need to be getting addicted to high amounts of caffeine. The nicotine vape addiction is bad enough!
People have to live with damaged teeth for the rest of their lives. Let’s help reduce the damage.
Sometimes we just need a bit of energy, like for exams. Everything in moderation, as they say.
Why are energy drinks worse than coffee? It’s just a way to target young people.
I’m not touching the things, they are expensive and harmful. But, I should have the choice to if I want.
We will be sharing your thoughts on this topic with Bite Back, Healthy Schools, Future Food Movement, Jamie Oliver and Red Bull GmbH.

New laws governing pet welfare in place from June
New laws that will offer protection to pets and introduce tougher penalties for those guilty of animal cruelty will come into effect next month. Measures in the Animal Welfare Act will see owners of cats, dogs and other pets become legally required to ensure their welfare.
Only the treatment of livestock was covered under previous provisions.
Minister for the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture Clare Barer told Tynwald members the new laws would "make a genuine difference to the welfare of animals on this island".
Politicians approved the regulations outlining the rules on the retention of animal welfare complaints by the department at the May sitting of the parliament. Under the rules adopted, complaints not investigated within six months must be removed from the record but those that are will kept for a three-year period.
However, complaints deemed to be unwarranted must be removed within a week. As well as owners being responsible for their pet's wellbeing, the new laws have introduced powers to prosecute people who breach their duty of care, with a series of animal welfare codes published.
