Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025

Debate

Advertising Restrictions on Less Healthy Food

Contribution

The different determinants of health are vital. We have laid out the commercial ones, which is why we are discussing today dealing with advertising, in particular, and other issues. On 12 December 2024, the Government published the revised National Planning Policy Framework. It is fundamental that local planning authorities and councillors have an input into healthy shops and food around schools. The noble Baroness touches on the difficult issue of being able to determine which shops open where, which I think is probably the subject for a future debate.
