Proceeding contribution from Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Obesity.
Obesity
My Lords, when we heard this Statement, for once we had an admission that this matter is not dealt with by one department of state but goes across government. However, a department of state will have to take the lead. Are there any plans to enable, for instance, the Department of Health to tell planners that they must make it possible for people to take recreational activity easily? Will the department at any point be able to say to the education department: ““You are getting it wrong. Can we have not only more school sport but a strategy that allows people easily to transfer to adult sport.””? We have not even started to tackle that.
