I suggest that the ASAI come back to the committee with that. It can write to us and we will include it in one of our discussions. To be honest, there could be a very bland, boring advertisement about a food product that could have a high fat and sugar content. It is not enough to just look at what the advertisement looks like. The measuring of the fat, sugar and so on is far more important. The ASAI would be brilliant at doing the latter so it should take it on board. I ask that the ASAI write to us in respect of this matter and we will have a further discussion.

Will Mr. McPartlan respond to the question I put to him.
