Proceeding contribution from Nigel Griffiths (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Food Products (Marketing to Children) Bill.


Food Products (Marketing to Children) Bill

I certainly agree with the hon. Member, and I shall tell him what I think can be done. We can diminish the pester power that children exert on their parents, which is fostered by an advertising and food marketing industry that has already been caught using websites that were so unacceptable to the public that even some of the largest companies in Britain had to pull them. I hope that there is support for backing parental responsibility, which is one of the primary aims of my Bill.
