Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Keith Vaz (Labour), on Thursday, 22 January 2015, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 13 members in total.


COCA COLA SPONSORSHIP OF THE LONDON EYE

That this House is concerned with the public health implications of Coca Cola sponsoring a major landmark of the UK, the London Eye; notes the London Eye is clearly branded in Coca Cola livery and lit bright red; believes this prominent promotion of a high energy, high sugar product is irresponsible at a time of record child obesity, rotten teeth and diabetes levels; further notes this sponsorship deal comes after the commitment by the NHS to an evidence-based national health prevention strategy; and calls on the Government to intervene and review the implications of this decision.
