answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>In the second chapter of our Childhood Obesity Plan, published in June 2018, we committed to consult on introducing further advertising restrictions, including a 9pm watershed on TV advertising of foods high in fat, salt and sugar (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. We will explore options to ensure that any restrictions are proportionate, help to incentivise reformulation in line with the aims of the sugar and calorie reduction programmes, and consider a focus on those products that children consume and most contribute to the problem of childhood obesity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 01/11/2018 18:11:14 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
