In developing Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action<\/em> we have been clear that we considered a number of different policies and have focused on the ones that are likely to have the biggest impact on childhood obesity.<\/p>

<\/p>

The policies in the plan are informed by the latest research and evidence, including from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition report Carbohydrates and Health<\/em>, Public Health England\u2019s evidence package Sugar reduction: the evidence for action<\/em>, other Government departments, debates in the House of Commons and various reports from key stakeholders including the House of Commons Health Select Committee.<\/p>

<\/p>

Current restrictions on the advertising of less healthy food and drink in the United Kingdom are amongst the toughest in the world. Alongside this, we welcome the action taken by forward thinking retailers on promotions. These voluntary actions mean that business can move more quickly and go beyond what regulation would permit.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are confident that the measures we have announced will make a real difference and estimate that childhood obesity rates could be reduced by around a fifth (330,000) over the next ten years. Though we are clear in our goals and firm in the action we will take, this plan represents the start of a conversation, rather than the final word.<\/p>

The Government introduced a duty on universities in September to ensure that they have due regard to the need to prevent people being drawn into terrorism. The statutory guidance which accompanies the duty makes clear that universities must ensure that they assess the risks associated with organisations and speakers at events on campus, putting mitigations in place where necessary or cancelling events where the risk cannot be mitigated.<\/p>

The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has been appointed as the body to monitor compliance at English universities, including where potential breaches of the duty are reported. Appropriate arrangements will apply in Wales and Scotland.<\/p>

The Directive will enter into force at some point in March 2015.  Once this occurs, a cross-Whitehall implementation group will be set up, chaired by the Department for Transport which will look at how best we can facilitate the requirements of the Directive into UK law.  There will be opportunities to respond to consultation on any options produced.<\/p>
