I am just telling the Minister of State that I hope she does not weaken on any of these amendments. I hope that she keeps to them. They are not enough but they are a beginning. I want to strengthen her hand. Of people questioned for the survey to which I refer, 74% were in favour of a ban on alcohol advertising on radio, television or anything else that appealed to young people. Well done on tackling radio and television advertising, but the measure needs to be implemented as strictly as possible. I would be in favour of a complete ban on alcohol.

I will end on this point. The promotion of sport through alcohol is ridiculous. Some of it damages one's health. This substance is used to promote and fund sports. It is nonsense.
