Lord Prior of Brampton
The best way of addressing social deprivation is to have a strong economy. As I am sure the noble Baroness will agree, the Government have the perfect economic strategy to address that issue.
Lord Elton (Con)
My Lords, my noble friend emphasised the fact that sugar is bad for teeth and that the Government are trying to reduce the intake of sugar by private individuals. What is the effect on teeth of the substitutes that will be introduced into many products to replace sugar?
Lord Prior of Brampton
I am afraid that I cannot answer that question as I simply do not have the knowledge. I will research it and write to my noble friend.
