<p>In the second chapter of our childhood obesity plan, launched in June 2018, we
have committed to consult on introducing further advertising restrictions, including
a 9pm watershed on TV advertising of HFSS products and similar protection for children
viewing adverts online, with the aim of limiting children’s exposure to HFSS advertising,
and incentivising sugar and calorie reduction. Further details about the consultation
will be available later this year. Officials in government have regular discussions
with their counterparts in the Devolved Administrations on improving the health and
wellbeing of children and young people, including on tackling obesity. Discussions
include domestic strategies and the delivery of UK-wide measures in our childhood
obesity plan, such as advertising restrictions.</p><p>"Childhood obesity: a plan
