Liberal Democrat — Oxford West and Abingdon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Tackling Obesity

Contribution

I pay enormous tribute to the former member of the Committee. I can entirely understand why he was elevated to other things, but he was very much my right-hand man through the obesity side of this inquiry. I completely agree with him—it was stark. We know what works, and the path for how we do this is clear, but what was missing was a joined-up approach, not just across Departments but within the NHS itself. He is completely right that there are things that work and we know what we need to do, but at the moment we are not seeing that joined-up approach that we need Government to take to achieve it.
