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


Obesity

On changing commercial practices, when will the Government do something about the practice of so many supermarkets whereby they place rows of sweets next to the checkout? If a parent has fought off their children and not bought sweets on their way around the supermarket, the children then have 10 minutes to whine while the parent waits to pay for their shopping.
