I understand there is some levity about this, but it is a serious matter. It was raised by a constituent of mine who became deeply concerned about the issue while trying to buy a replica kit for his young son, as he found that his son would be walking around bearing the logo of a drinks company. This should be raised with the Minister for Health and Children. My constituent attempted to do so and was informed by the Minister that there was no legislative remedy available to the Department of Health and Children to deal with it. However, in Britain, football shirts in children's sizes are no longer permitted to display the logos of alcohol companies from 1 January. The Minister should consider this issue and I ask for a debate on this.
