Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the implications for its policies of the University of London's recent study finding that eating at least two portions of fish a week was associated with a fifty percent reduction in the risk that a child would develop asthma between the ages of 11 and 14 if they carried a certain version of the FADS gene.

Public Health England has not made a formal assessment.
