Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Warner (Labour) on Wednesday, 8 March 2006.
Children: Healthy Eating
- Question
- Whether they remain committed, as stated in the White Paper Choosing Health, to legislating for all forms of advertising and promotion in the event that self-regulation fails to restrict the promotion of foods high in fat, sugar and salt to children by 2007.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government remain committed to reviewing in 2007 the success of measures undertaken in relation to the balance of food and drink advertising and promotion to children. If those measures have failed to produce change in the nature and balance of food promotion, we intend to take action through existing powers in new legislation to implement a clearly defined framework for regulating the promotion of food to children.
