Childhood Obesity Strategy

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

With reference to standing still, the debate today has largely focused on sugar and our intake of it. One of the key things we need to do to tackle the challenge of childhood obesity is to focus on activity—getting people to be physically active, through sport or, as I increasingly believe, outdoor recreation. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport sports strategy, which focuses more on outcomes and includes outdoor recreation, could help to tackle the crisis that we are facing. Does the right hon. Gentleman agree?
