Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to implement (a) a 9.00pm watershed ban on TV junk food advertising and (b) a ban on paid-for advertising of less healthy foods on online media.

The Government legislated to further restrict advertising of less healthy food through the Health and Care Act 2022. This includes introducing a 9pm TV watershed for advertising products high in fat, salt or sugar and a restriction of paid-for advertising of these products online, across the United Kingdom. This will come into force on 1 October 2025.
