Labour — Stroud

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2025

Debate

Obesity: Food and Diet

Contribution

I entirely agree. I think that this Parliament could do to obesity what the Government who were in power between 1997 and 2010 did to smoking: we could drastically reduce it. For the sake of our children and our older adults, I urge everyone to accept that we need to act now, and we need to act radically.
