Regulations 5 and 6 (relating to volume price promotions, including free drink refills) are due to come into force on 1st October 2023.\nThese Regulations amend the Principal Regulations so that regulations 5 and 6 instead come into force on 1st October 2025. They also amend regulation 5(5) to clarify that the volume price promotion restriction does not apply to food which includes a volume price promotion on its packaging for a period of 12 months beginning on the day regulation 5 comes into force.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument.",
