Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish a timetable for the introduction of secondary legislation for further advertising restrictions (a) on TV and (b) online for less healthy food products.

As set out in the King’s Speech, in this parliamentary session, we will bring forward the necessary final guidance and 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, to ensure the legislation comes into force as planned by 1 October 2025.
