Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 10 July 2006.


Food: Television Advertising

Question
My Lords, will the Government’s response include the potential for brand sponsorship of programmes to become a loophole in restrictions on advertising to children? Will it also include radio advertising?
Answer

My Lords, we await Ofcom’s report on television promotion. We are also looking at non-broadcast promotions. As I said in my Answer, we are willing to consider legislative changes, should they be necessary, once we have seen the outcome of the Ofcom review.
