That this House recognises that people withcoeliac disease have an autoimmune disease for which the only treatment is a lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet; acknowledges that for many of those diagnosed, eating out is a continuous challenge which affects their lives every day; urges those in the hospitality industry to embrace the need for more choice and to improve the availability of gluten-free food; and commends and supports Coeliac UK for its Gluten-free Challenge campaign which aims to make eating out possible for all people with coeliac disease, to significantly improve their quality of life and create understanding of their condition.
