I move amendment No. 38:

In page 41, between lines 32 and 33, to insert the following: “(1A) Provision made for the purpose referred to in subsection (1) shall not include regulation of commercial communications.”.

When I raised this issue on Committee Stage the Minister was not in favour of it, but it remains a very important issue. Allowing the advertisers to self-regulate is something most people would see as ridiculous. It is bad practice, and it causes harm to people, especially children. I resubmitted the amendment in the hope that the Minister would reconsider her position on this important issue.
