Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans, if any, they have to introduce targets for reducing obesity amongst adults.

There are no plans to introduce targets for reducing obesity amongst adults. Many of the measures in both chapters of the childhood obesity plan will have an impact on tackling obesity across all age groups. These include the soft drinks industry levy, sugar reduction and wider calorie reformulation programme, restricting promotions and calorie labelling in restaurants which will improve our eating habits and reduce the amount of sugar we consume.
