Eating Disorder Services: Referrals

Lord McFall of Alcluith Excerpts

Monday 17th May 2021 Lords Chamber

[Lord Bethell (Con)]

My Lords, the eating habits of the nation have changed considerably in recent years. The amount of food that people eat that has been prepared by others has risen dramatically, and many people have no idea what is in the food they are eating. That is why we have moved to bring in calorie labelling on food that is delivered and in restaurants. I am acutely aware of the concerns of the noble Baronesses, Lady Parminter and Lady Bull. We are committed to engaging with eating disorder charities, Beat and other key stakeholders, and to listening very carefully to their concerns on this.

[The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)]

My Lords, all supplementary questions have been asked.
