'Set TV time limits for all children'

Children under three should not watch any television, and older children should have their TV viewing rationed to a 'recommended daily allowance', a scientist told MPs on Monday. Speaking at a conference at Westminster, Dr Aric Sigman argued that the Government must take action to cut children's television viewing, and said it was a major issue for public health. He suggested that parents should be given recommended daily amount guidelines, similar to that given for intake of salt.
