GLUTEN-FREE CHALLENGE CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 85, tabled 17 May 2012 by Gordon Banks (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House recognises that people with coeliac disease have an autoimmune disease for which the only treatment is a lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet; considers that for many of those diagnosed, eating out is a continuous challenge; urges those in the hospitality industry to reap the benefits of this market by providing safe, gluten-free options on menus; and commends and supports Coeliac UK for its Gluten-free Challenge campaign which aims to make eating out possible for all people with the condition, to significantly improve their quality of life and create understanding of coeliac disease.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Independent 1.
