<p>‘Integration and innovation: working together to improve health and social care
for all’, published on 11 February 2021, confirmed the Government’s intention to introduce
further advertising restrictions to prohibit advertisements for products high in fat,
sugar or salt (HFSS) being shown on TV before 9pm. In November and December 2020,
we consulted on how to go further and implement an online restriction for HFSS advertisements.
Depending on the outcome of this consultation, it is our intention to take forward
further online advertising restrictions simultaneously in this legislation.</p><p>
</p><p>We carefully consider all views and potential impacts of our measures to reduce
obesity. This includes feedback from a wide range of experts and stakeholders on specific
policy proposals and in response to our public consultations. The final impact assessments
on the proposals to restrict the promotion of foods HFSS by location and by volume
is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/restricting-promotions-of-food-and-drink-that-is-high-in-fat-sugar-and-salt"

</p><p>The developmental impact assessment on further advertising restrictions on
TV and online was published alongside the 2019 consultation on this policy. This is
available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/786554/advertising-consultation-impact-assessment.pdf"

</p><p>An evidence note was published alongside the consultation on the proposal to
introduce a total restriction of online advertising for HFSS products. This builds
on the impact assessment that accompanied the 2019 consultation. This is available
at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/total-restriction-of-online-advertising-for-products-high-in-fat-sugar-and-salt-hfss/evidence-note"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/total-restriction-of-online-advertising-for-products-high-in-fat-sugar-and-salt-hfss/evidence-note</a></p><p>
</p><p>We will publish the final impact assessment on further advertising restrictions
on TV and online alongside the full response to the consultation shortly and this
will feed into the wider impact assessment for the Health and Care Bill.</p>
