asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he has any plans to introduce regulations to ensure that all advertisements for bottle feeding equipment carry a statement indicating the case for breastfeeding;(2) if he has any plans to establish a manufacturing and marketing code with the manufacturers of baby-feeding teats and bottles and breast pumps.

Officials are discussing a voluntary code of marketing and advertising practice with the manufacturers and distributors aimed at promoting and protecting breastfeeding. I understand the British Standards Institute is preparing a British standard for teats, and that one for feeding bottles is contemplated.
