Food Products (Marketing to Children) Bill

My hon. Friend is right to raise that, and I return to clause 2(3), which is over-zealous to say the least. It proposes a restriction in respect of"““any brand name which is associated with””" unhealthy food products. By definition, any supermarket that retails the products whose advertising would be banned is a brand name ““associated with”” unhealthy products. On that basis, he is right to say that supermarkets might be prevented from advertising on TV. That would have a further massive impact on the income of broadcasters. I do think that the consequences of the Bill's extent, which is far beyond what most people would believe in, are fully understood. Supermarkets would also be prevented from promoting some things that benefit schools and some activities that take place in schools.
