I move amendment No. 176:

In page 82, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following: “(2A) Provision made for the purpose referred to in subsection (2)(d) may prohibit the inclusion in programmes of commercial communications relating
to foods or beverages considered by the Commission to be the subject of public concern in respect of the general public health interests of children, in particular those foods or beverages which contain fat, trans-fatty acids, salts or sugars.
(2B) Provision made for the purpose referred to in subsection (2)(d) may prohibit the inclusion in programmes of commercial communications relating to
alcohol products considered by the Commission to be the subject of public concern in respect of the general public health interests of children.
(2C) Provision made for the purpose referred to in subsection (2)(d) may prohibit the inclusion in programmes of commercial communications relating to
gambling considered by the Commission to be the subject of public concern in respect of the general public health interests of children.”.

I thank the Minister for reconsidering.
