answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2021 answer text <p>In addition to our 2019 and 2020 consultations on further advertising restrictions for high fat, salt and sugar products, we have engaged with stakeholders from all sectors throughout this process, including aggregators and other food delivery businesses. We have heard how the proposals could impact different businesses and in the 2020 consultation we asked whether our proposal for a total online restriction would confer a competitive advantage to any particular operator or segment of the online advertising environment. These views have been taken into account whilst developing the final policy position which will be outlined in our consultation response and final impact assessment due to be published later this year.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 28/04/2021 13:01:55 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
