To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action he is taking to reduce the levels of obesity in young people.
Yvette Cooper
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health
We are tackling levels of obesity in young people by improving diet and physical activity. This includes investment from the New Opportunities Fund for a PE and Sports Programme, a National School Fruit Scheme and nutritional standards for school lunches. Local strategies on reducing overweight and obesity are also being developed as part of the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease.
