HC Deb 28 May 2004 vol 422 c142W
Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with his ministerial colleagues in the Department of Culture, Media and Sport about restrictions on the advertising of breastmilk substitutes in line with the World Health Organisation code of practice. [174624]

Miss Melanie Johnson

No discussions have taken place with Ministerial colleagues in the Department of Culture, Media and Sport about the restrictions on the advertising of breastmilk substitutes in line with the World Health Organisation code of practice. Currently we are exploring with the Food Standards Agency ways in which elements of the European Community Directive on infant formula could be better aligned to the international code.
