Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 5:32 pm on 15 December 2005.
I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this important debate and on his speech. As someone who has served as a school governor, may I point out that many schools receive valuable income from the drinks machines in their establishments? If the machines could contain healthy drinks, schools' income would be maintained and children would be better off. That would be better than banning the machines altogether.

This policy has already been enacted in our school, as has free (to users) water purifier machines and sales though lower did not end.
