Sugary Drinks Tax

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

If we were dealing with a level playing field, the hon. Lady might be right, but we are not. We are dealing with goods that are heavily marketed, especially to children. I am sure she cannot really be arguing that it is great for hospitals to profit from unhealthy food and then for the other end of the hospital to deal with the consequences of that.
