I propose to take Questions Nos. 387 and 485 together.

A Working Group on Sport Sponsorship by the Alcohol Industry has been established and is broadly representative of the organisations relevant to the issues being discussed. The Working Group met in May and in July and each of the representative organisations has made a written submission to the Group. The deadline set for the completion of the Group's Report is the end of September and the Group is working towards that deadline.
