Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 June 2026

Debate

Sporting Events Bill [HL]

Contribution

We want to raise the healthiest generation of children ever. From January this year, the Government have implemented UK-wide restrictions on the advertising of less-healthy food and drink products on TV before 9 pm and paid-for advertising of these products online at any time. Adverts for less-healthy food and drink products during the broadcast of sporting events would be in scope of these restrictions, where relevant. Similarly, we have strong rules relating to the outdoor advertising of foods high in fat, salt and sugar. These rules apply to adverts within restricted zones at sporting events, just as they do to adverts in the rest of the country.
