Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 May 2025

Debate

Healthy Life Expectancy

Contribution

Prevention is certainly the best approach. As noble Lords will be aware, one of the three pillars of the published 10-year plan is moving from sickness to prevention, so that will feature very much in the plan. We work closely with industry to ensure that government can benefit from its information and its approach, and that we can bring industry along with us to ensure that, collectively, we are taking the best approach to making healthier foods available. We also have to make sure that people have the resource to have healthier foods, as well as information. It is, again, a many-pronged approach, but that is why it has to be a joined-up approach.
