The monitoring body to oversee the implementation of the voluntary code of practice on alcohol advertising will be established shortly. This body will report to the Minister for Health and Children on an annual basis. I will await receipt of the first annual report in 2006 before deciding if the alcohol products Bill should be introduced.
