(asked on 8th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to implement his Department's childhood obesity strategy.
This question was answered on 15th November 2016
The Department is working closely with Public Health England, the National Health Service, local authorities, schools and other partners as we implement the Childhood Obesity Plan.
The Department is already taking firm action, including consulting on the soft drinks industry levy and launching a broad sugar reduction programme. This is already showing results, as has been seen in the recent announcements by Tesco and Lucozade about cutting sugar in their drinks.
