The House of Commons Health Committee is continuing its enquiry into alcohol advertising through a series of question and answer sessions with the industry and other representatives such as Diageo and the Drinkaware Trust. Videos of the sessions can be accessed here. The next session will be taking place on the 16th July.
The earlier sessions heard from leading health professionalls on the need for greater control and reguation of the alcohol advertising. Industry representatives have since defended advertsing practice saying existing regulation and measnures such as the Portman Group code of practice are ample.
Today the Portman group hit out at Alcohol Concern over claims that advertising scheduling practices were being ignored as children were being exposed to advertising.
