They are regularly reviewed and updated by the industry to ensure they remain effective, and proposed changes to the Codes are routinely subject to public consultation. The Codes currently state that alcohol advertising must not be targeted at people under 18 and “should not imply, condone or encourage immoderate, irresponsible or anti-social drinking.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 17/12/2018 13:10:37 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
