Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.

Child Poverty Bill

I should stress that we support the necessity to consider diet and healthy eating. Health is a key strand of the building blocks that the Secretary of State is required to consider when developing the strategy, as is education, childcare, social services, housing and the built and natural environment. It is part of the approach to the strategy but is not directly reflected in one of the four targets that we are measuring, which are based on income. However, the strategy will not succeed if we do not address health inequalities.
