The motion

That this House welcomes the Children's Food Campaign report Through the back door; notes with concern its findings that many organisations within the food industry are producing educational materials that promote food to children and contain incorrect and misleading nutritional information designed to be taught in schools as fact; further welcomes the condemnation of these packs by the Minister of State for Health; and calls on the Department for Children, Schools and Families to introduce stronger regulation of educational materials produced by companies and trade bodies as soon as possible.
