Proceeding contribution from Nick Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Obesity.


Obesity

The hon. Gentleman's point about a sedentary lifestyle is important. The Welsh health survey 2008 showed that 21% of the population in Wales were obese. Does he agree that encouraging people to exercise and to avoid the sedentary lifestyle that he is talking about is important to reduce the alarming obesity rates, in addition to eating more healthily?
