Written Answers - National Strategy for Children.
One of the recommendations of the strategic task force on alcohol which I established last year concerns limiting the exposure of children and adolescents to alcohol marketing. Officials from my Department have begun preparatory work on this recommendation. The primary aim of this measure will be to protect young people, especially children, from over-exposure to alcohol advertising.
