Ministerial forum on alcohol advertising & sponsorship
Ministerial forum on alcohol advertising & sponsorship
The Government has established a forum to consider whether further restrictions should be placed on the marketing of alcohol.
The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 introduced stronger controls on alcohol advertising and promotion, such as making it an offence to promote alcohol in a way that appeals to minors and bans free or heavily-discounted promotions.
The Ministerial forum on alcohol advertising and sponsorship will gather evidence and expert advice about the effectiveness of possible advertising or sponsorship controls.
