Childhood Obesity Strategy

Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on Childhood Obesity Strategy.

I congratulate the hon. Lady on securing this debate and on her work in this area. We do not really have to wait for a tax; we can take what the Mayor of London has done in City Hall as an example. He has made sugary drinks more expensive, and therefore people have that choice immediately. In the presence of the Chairman of the Administration

Committee, the House’s greatest living dentist, who is participating in this debate, may I say that it is possible for this House to put up the price of sugary drinks so that those who go to the Tea Room will then have that choice?
