Motion text

That this House notes that the level of obesity in the United Kingdom has more than trebled over the last 20 years and that one in five adults is now obese; congratulates The Obesity Awareness and Solutions Trust (TOAST) on the organisation of National Obesity Awareness Week commencing on 22nd March; extends to TOAST its best wishes for continuing success in highlighting the scale and causes of obesity and the need for public policy to promote access to a range of possible solutions, and for providing practical support for those who are overweight and obese; further notes the proposed establishment by TOAST of Toast House to be a centre of excellence for work on all aspects of obesity through conference facilities, training courses and support programmes, counselling, healthy living and residential facilities, motivational support and research resources; and hopes that it will receive the support necessary to realise its vision.
