Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on School Meals.


School Meals

In my debate on this subject earlier in this Parliament, I pointed out that, although some schools have a good track record in promoting healthy eating and high-nutrition meals, others allow the presence of machines containing snacks with high-salt and high-sugar content. Would it not be futile if a child had a healthy midday meal, only to supplement it with such unhealthy food? Does my hon. Friend hope that the Minister will have something to say about that?
