A Labour frontbencher was criticised today after suggesting beer pumps should display the number of calories in a pint.

Shadow social care minister Liz Kendall said the nutritional value of alcoholic drinks was a ‘big issue’.

Speaking to the BBC she said that giving the information to drinkers would allow them to make decisions about what and how much they drink for themselves and avoid more drastic measures from politicians.
