We have worked closely with other Government Departments in developing Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action. Its policies are informed by the latest research and evidence, including from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition report Carbohydrates and Health, Public Health England’s evidence package Sugar reduction: the evidence for action, debates in this House and various reports from key stakeholders including the Health Select Committee.

Copies of Carbohydrates and Health and Sugar reduction: the evidence for action are attached and are available at:
