Proceeding contribution from Howard Stoate (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

May I assist the hon. Gentleman? He says that it is difficult to define food and to determine whether a particular type of food constitutes cooked food. I met one of my constituency’s publicans at a public meeting last night who made the interesting point that beer, by definition, is a food. Does that not rather confuse the situation under the Bill because any pub that sells beer will technically be selling food?
