Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Combating Obesity.


Combating Obesity

I thank my right hon. Friend for her generosity in giving way. She will be aware of initiatives in Bristol such as the ““Thank you for not driving”” campaign, which aims to tackle the school run, and the healthy schools initiative. The other day, I presented an award to St Anne’s infants school, which has received a healthy schools certificate. Does she agree that children have a role to play as ambassadors to try to encourage their parents to adopt a healthier lifestyle?
