GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING ON CHILDREN'S FOOD

Early day motion 138, tabled 19 November 2002 by Derek Wyatt (Labour). Signed by 56 members.

That this House notes that one in three children is now categorised as overweight and one in nine obese; further notes that diabetes and heart disease will increase among teenagers resulting in thousands of premature deaths and disabilities in the next generation; and calls on the Government to devise, as it has done in a different environment with cigarette and associated tobacco sales, a health risk logo to be part of all food advertising aimed at children.
