Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 June 2026

Debate

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Contribution

As my noble friend said, this is important before people become pregnant. Many people who become pregnant are of course young women, but so much of the advertising by the alcohol industry is aimed at exactly those youngsters. Although I take the point from the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, about not involving the industry in the solutions, I do think that the Government should talk about advertising that is not aimed at young women, because they are exactly the ones who might become pregnant.
