Proceeding contribution from Betty Williams (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
Those of us who have followed debates on this matter in the Chamber for a long time will have noticed that organisations such as those cited by my hon. Friend—the British Heart Foundation, Diabetes UK and the BMA—have made totally consistent arguments over the years. There is cross-country support for my hon. Friend's Bill, including in Wales—I think that I am the only Welsh Member in the Chamber—which I point out just in case he thinks that support comes from only England and Scotland. Does he agree that the consistency of those organisations' arguments shows that they believe that the health of the nation is more important than that of the marketers?
