Proceeding contribution from Lord Rea (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Obesity.


Obesity

My Lords, in view of the serious situation revealed by the Foresight report, will the Government put—among what I hope will be a raft of other measures across government—increased pressure on Ofcom to end broadcast advertising, not only to children but to everyone, of foods that are high in sugar and fat? Following the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Krebs, are the Government ready to introduce early regulations if such advertising continues?
