Did you mean sale death?
Geraint Davies: ...you to make some money out of it, you probably would not—or you might because you are a good person—just sell that potato. The way to make money out of the potato is to smash it up, add fat, salt and sugar, reform it as Dennis’s dinosaurs, put some packaging around it and a jingle on it and get children who are poor into the habit of consuming a large amount of it, so they die an...
Lord Rooker: My Lords, like the noble Lord, Lord Willis, I have not come to complain about the lack of a Bill on health. I have come to complain about actions on health. Let us have a brief look at salt and sugar, two major health concerns. The related health problems from these substances cost the National Health Service billions. Salt is connected with high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease, and...
Jim Shannon: It most definitely is not, and everyone in this house would endorse that. It is an example of more salt being put in people’s wounds There can be no earthly action that can ever wash away this guilt. I am also heartened that in the next world these people will answer for their crimes, as my hon. Friend the Member for South Antrim (Dr McCrea) mentioned earlier. Sympathies given by a...
Jane Ellison: Two sets of new and challenging targets for levels of salt in a wide range of foods that are commonly consumed both in and out of the home were issued through the Public Health Responsibility Deal earlier this month. Work is now underway to engage with businesses to adopt and work towards these targets. The Change4Life programme gives information to families and others on the benefits of...
Tom Elliott: ...makes it illegal to sell, supply or advertise them for human consumption. The substances are generally bought from head shops or Internet sites. Many suppliers use descriptions such as " bath salts", "incense" or "plant food" and claim that the substances are not intended for human consumption as a way of getting around the drugs law. There is an incorrect belief that, because the...
Roseanna Cunningham: ...effects to illegal drugs, such as ecstasy, but they fall outside the control of the United Kingdom Government’s Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. They are often labelled and sold as plant food or bath salts, or marked as not fit for human consumption. Those are all tactics used by sellers to avoid the law. The substances are easily accessible. They can be bought online and on our high streets in...
Chris Skidmore: I defer to my hon. Friend’s knowledge, given that he is a lawyer who, I am sure, has encountered plenty of cases of dangerous driving, and death by dangerous driving, in his time. All I know is that we and the Sentencing Council need to give the courts more tools to deal with these cases. The judge who presided over Lovell’s trial said that he wished that he could have imposed a tougher...
Earl Howe: ...in bringing this important issue to the attention of your Lordships’ House. Few subjects matter more than food and drink. Poor diet can cause serious illness and even increase the risk of early death. My noble friend has a supporter here when she talks about high standards. We both want nutritious food that meets the recovery needs of patients and the health needs of staff and visitors,...
Baroness Hamwee: ...more accurate than “decriminalisation”—depenalisation. It is not a soft option, nor is it regulation. There, the number of young people becoming addicted is falling, and so are drug-related deaths. I will focus on one part of the all-party group’s work. We realised that the world had changed. As others said, drugs are traded on the internet. If we close a site here, another will...
Sarah Champion: ...and a petition to tackle the dangers of legal highs. The use of legal highs not only causes short-term health problems and damages prospects in education and employment, but increasingly leads to deaths. Figures obtained by my hon. Friend have shown that in the past five years, the number of deaths attributed to the four most common drugs used in legal highs rose fourfold—from nine...
Andrew Gwynne: ...had a 1960s kitchen that was falling to pieces. There was mould and the house was cold and draughty. Worse, the landlord was based in the Irish Republic and did not want to do any repairs. To add salt to the wound, the rent on the property was almost £100 a month more than the rent on the property next door. I thought then, and I believe now, that if it is right to have the decent homes...
Anna Soubry: It could be, but I make it clear, as I said on Monday in various media interviews, that at the moment the responsibility deal is working, which is why we have some of the lowest salt levels in the world. Other countries are coming to us to find out how we have achieved that by working with industry, retailers and manufacturers to reduce salt levels. On the reduction of trans fats, under 1% of...
Lord Collins of Highbury: ..., not Slough, I must add to the noble Viscount, Lord Falkland. Instead, as other noble Lords have indicated, we should focus more on the food industry that since the war has pumped out high-salt, high-fat and high-sugar products without any proper warnings. However, as we have heard in today's debate, there is a genuine fear that, at a time when the priority of diabetes should be enhanced,...
Bob Blackman: ...that the opening ceremony “is an atmosphere that is not fit to remember such a tragic incident.” However, that is wholly inconsistent with past opening ceremonies. The 2002 winter games in Salt Lake City justifiably included a number of references and tributes to those lost or injured in the 9/11 attacks. The same point can be made in regard to the tragic death of Georgian luge slider...
Alistair Burt: ...and achievements should be celebrated but instead are behind bars. We will continue to highlight and to encourage Iran to address gender discrimination in Iranian law. Iran’s excessive use of the death penalty is a major cause of concern. In 2011, reliable sources reported that about 650 people were executed, although because of the opacity of the Iranian judiciary and penal system, it...
Lord Davies of Stamford: ...have a much easier ride on Report and Third Reading. If there is an agreed solution to this and other problems, I trust that the whole thing will go through Report and Third Reading like a dose of salts. Everybody could be satisfied with that outcome. This group of amendments includes a clause stand part debate, and this clause raises two very important issues. First, I do not think that...
Neil Bibby: ...and care for the elderly and the vulnerable. In addition, we must do all that we can to avoid seeing again the scenes that we saw on the M8, which was fast descending into a case of life and death. It has been suggested that private contractors are reluctant to call on councils to assist with the salting of motorways and trunk roads because they would need to reimburse them for that. I...
Baroness Bakewell: ...of talking therapies, will be opened up to competitive bids from the private sector. The reputable Daily Telegraph blogger, Max Pemberton, who is also a doctor, called it, "the day they signed the death warrant of the NHS". Such changes are already in progress. This, when the Bill is not yet enacted, is surely constitutionally dubious. The National Health Service is the victim of its own...
Earl Howe: ...of Highbury, to his Front-Bench responsibilities. Non-communicable diseases, or NCDs, kill millions of people across the world every year. Indeed, they are responsible for three in five of all deaths and bring illness and disability to countless more. People with NCDs are high users of health services worldwide. In England alone, around 70p in every £1 spent on health and care is spent...
