Lord Boateng (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025

Debate

Advertising Restrictions on Less Healthy Food

Contribution

My Lords, as a child, I was profoundly influenced by an advert designed to encourage me to eat—and my mother to buy—instant mashed potato. I survived that experience, as did many others of my generation, as I can see looking around the House. Of much more profound and benign influence was the impact of domestic science being taught in my school. What proposals do the Government intend to bring forward to encourage the integration of healthy eating practice into our school curriculum?
