English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
Jamie Oliver played a significant part in the last Labour Government through his TV show “Jamie’s School Dinners” and his Feed Me Better campaign which outlawed turkey twizzlers from our children’s lunches. With the Government showing such commitment to healthy childhoods, I hope they will agree to work with Jamie Oliver again by accepting my new clause 74, which is also championed by the Town and Country Planning Association. New clause 74 simply notes that councils should be able to control what sits on the hoardings on private land, enabling them to regulate advertising and include duties on them to use that power in relation to health inequalities. Devolution should truly empower local authorities and local communities. I hope the Government will accept this new clause, and the other amendments I have tabled, as the Bill passes through its remaining stages.
