TV alcohol advertising ban proposed in the UK - Advertising, Media - The Independent

A bid to impose a total ban on alcohol advertising on television has been launched in Parliament.

Under her plan to limit children's exposure to alcohol marketing, tightly controlled advertising would only be permitted in certain circumstances with a blanket ban on all other promotion.
