Sugary Drinks Tax

Proceeding contribution from Emma Reynolds (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 November 2015. It occurred during Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Sugary Drinks Tax.

Does my hon. Friend agree that the voluntary approach to the food and drink industry is not working? Contrary to what the right hon. Member for Cities of London and Westminster (Mark Field) has suggested, the industry is not taking responsibility for reformulating sugary drinks, some of which contain as much as 14 teaspoons of sugar—double the daily recommended amount. That is why we need a regulatory approach.
