I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
recognises that, according to a survey of parents commissioned by the Coalition on Food Advertising to Children:
(i)
86.2 per cent support a ban on advertising of unhealthy foods at times when children watch television, and
(ii)
88.7 per cent agree that the Government should introduce stronger restrictions on food advertising at times when children are watching television; and
(b)
calls on the Government to support a ban on food advertising during peak viewing times of children.

Question negatived.
