Max Wilkinson

Liberal Democrat — Cheltenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2025

Debate

Obesity: Food and Diet

Contribution

I thank my Gloucestershire neighbour for giving way. He mentioned the nanny state. As a Liberal, I believe in freedom, but there are two sides to it: freedom from and freedom to. Should not freedom from some of those representing the big, powerful vested interests in the food companies, who are not interested in our health, be at the centre of this debate?
