answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2022 answer text <p>The brand advertising exemption referred to in the government’s 2021 consultation response on less healthy food and drink advertising is not expressly referred to in the Health and Care Bill, as the scope of the restrictions extend only to the advertising of identifiable less healthy food and drink products. This means that brand advertising is out of scope, and provided that there are no identifiable products, food and drink brands can continue to advertise.</p><p>It is the government’s intention to work with regulators to ensure that clear guidance is available for businesses to understand all elements of the restrictions and ensure their compliance. This will include providing more detail on brand advertising. We expect this guidance to be made available for consultation later this year. The exact timing is a matter for regulators.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 04/03/2022 13:56:35 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2021 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has made it clear that tackling obesity is a priority for this Government. In July 2020 the Government outlined it’s Tackling Obesity strategy which details a host of measures aimed at empowering people to live the healthier lives they want to live.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government proposed various options for restricting HFSS advertising in the 2019 and 2020 consultations targeted at protecting children from being exposed to advertising of unhealthy food products.</p><p>Balanced against the priority of protecting children and tackling obesity, we have carefully considered the impact that any restrictions will have on industry and in particular the potential for market distortion or disproportionate effects on key business sectors.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The final policy will be set out in our consultation response due to be published shortly. This will be accompanied by a final impact assessment. We will support businesses, individuals and organisations to prepare for changes to the rules around HFSS advertising.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 18/05/2021 11:13:10 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
