uin	HL2491
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2024 answer text <p>Further restrictions on the advertising of less healthy foods will come into force on 1 October 2025. The Government will simultaneously introduce a 9:00pm television watershed for products high in fat, salt, or sugar, and a restriction of paid-for advertising of these products online. This was delayed from January 2023 to ensure robust implementation. While it may take slightly longer for the projected health benefits of these restrictions to materialise, we do not anticipate a significant impact in the long term, either on obesity rates or the National Health Service.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 20/02/2024 17:30:54 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
