Proceeding contribution from Lord Hart of Tenby (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Obesity.


Obesity

The hon. Gentleman will be aware, as I am, that part of the problem lies in the Department for Education, not the Department of Health. One of the obstacles to kids exercising is that teachers do not want to take them out of the classroom because of the raft of health and safety obstacles in the way. We need to address that in this Chamber as much as we do the health aspects.
