Baroness Merron (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 January 2025

Debate

Health: Obesity

Contribution

I accept the noble Baroness’s point about the influences on young people, in particular. It is exactly why, in December, we laid secondary legislation to implement a 9 pm TV watershed for the advertising of less healthy food. The noble Baroness referred to social media, and we are looking into that to see what may be necessary, but I accept the link she made.
