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


Obesity

Does my right hon. Friend agree that we need to be careful about introducing regulation for alcohol and other relevant products? It could be a very crude measure and have unforeseen consequences. For example, on alcohol, we may be concerned about the cheap sale of white cider, but the bigger issue is that introducing legislation may impact on brands that market themselves responsibly to responsible drinkers. We have to be careful about that sort of thing.
