General election 2017: Labour proposes junk food ad ban Adverts for junk food and sweets would be banned from all TV shows broadcast before the 21:00 watershed under Labour plans to tackle childhood obesity.
The party says the proposal forms part of a future child health bill that will be outlined in its election manifesto.
Products high in fat, salt or sugar are currently banned from being advertised during children's TV only.
The Tories said they had the world's "most ambitious" child obesity plan that would be put at risk by Labour.
According to Labour, introducing a ban on pre-watershed junk food promotions would reduce children's viewing of such adverts by 82%. BBC News
