HC Deb 01 July 1996 vol 280 c335W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proposals he has to reduce the exposure of young people to high alcohol brands of lemonades and cordials. [35023]

Mr. Bowls

The Government are aware of concerns about the appeal of certain alcoholic drinks to young people. We welcome the code of practice for the packaging, marketing and sale of alcoholic drinks the Portman Group published in April. The Portman Group and other signatories will monitor the code, and we shall be following this carefully to see how effective it is in practice.
