Proceeding contribution from Lord Ryder of Wensum (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Health.


Public Health

My Lords, could my noble friend please explain one tiny inconsistency in government policy? Today he announced that some parts of NHS expenditure would be ring-fenced to deal with the problem of obesity. However, earlier in the week the Education Secretary removed ring-fencing on school sports, which was partly designed to tackle the same problem. Am I right about this being an inconsistency, or can my noble friend explain whether I am making a mistake?
