Business question from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have an early debate on a shocking report published yesterday in Leicester, which shows that inactivity among children could result in type 2 diabetes in later life? The survey, based on a review of five schools in my constituency, shows that two thirds of children do not walk to school and half of them spend at least four hours a day watching television or playing computer games. As my right hon. Friend is committed to fitness and activity, despite being a supporter of Derby County, could he arrange for an early debate? Those findings have serious implications for our children in future years.
