The Government has ruled out a ban on alcohol advertising in upcoming plans to improve the health of the nation.

Officials are finalising the 10-Year Health Plan, which is expected in the coming weeks.

A draft version of the document, seen by Sky News, implied a total or partial ban on adverts for alcohol has been considered.

“We are exploring options for partial restrictions to bring it closer in line with the advertising of unhealthy food.”
