Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recommendations of the report entitled Turning the Tide: A 10-year Healthy Weight Strategy published by the Obesity Health Alliance in September 2021; and if he will make a statement.

We welcome the Obesity Health Alliance’s report which makes a valuable contribution to the debate, endorsing policies we are taking forward on food and drink labelling, promotions and advertising. The forthcoming Government food strategy, to be published in early 2022, will set out the next steps in our approach.
