Written question asked by Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Warner (Labour) on Wednesday, 19 April 2006.
Food
- Question
- Further to the reply by the Lord Warner on 8 March (HL Deb, col. 750), which existing powers would be used in new legislation to regulate the promotion of foods high in fat, sugar and salt to children, if voluntary measures fail to change the nature of food promotion.
- Answer
-
Through the Communications Act 2003, statutory regulation of broadcast advertising already exists. For the regulation of non-broadcast media, existing legislation that could be used should voluntary measures fail to change the nature and balance of food promotion includes the Food Safety Act 1990. However, no decision on the most appropriate form of legislation, if any, will be taken until the Government have conducted their 2007 review.
