England: Government to Curb Marketing to Children

His public health White Paper, expected this week, will warn that if the industry does not police itself, the Government will legislate to make it illegal to advertise junk food when children are watching.
The White Paper will be the biggest shake-up in public health for years as the Government turns its attention from treating the sick to preventing illness. Smoking will be another main target while there will also be new warnings on binge drinking and unprotected sex.
