Proceeding contribution from John Pugh (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Combating Obesity.
Combating Obesity
I totally accept the hon. Gentleman’s point about individual responsibility, but commercial responsibility is also involved. Many of the food companies that are keen on labelling have retail outlets in which the only things people wanting a bag of crisps or bar of chocolate can buy are a grab bag or a very large bar. The companies know that; it is a sales strategy.
