The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on the implementation of a ban on junk food advertising before the watershed.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

As set out in the King’s Speech, in this parliamentary session, we will bring forward the necessary secondary legislation to restrict advertisements of less healthy food and drink products before 9:00pm on television, and all paid-for advertising of these products online. We will set out the details on the next steps shortly.
