National Assembly Committee Supports Legislation Aimed at Improving Healthy Eating in Schools

6 Oct 2008

The Assembly's Committee on Proposed Healthy Eating in Schools Measure has published a report on Monday 6th October recommending the need for legislation to promote healthy eating in schools. The proposed Measure would impose a duty on Welsh Ministers, governing bodies, head teachers and LEA`s to promote healthy eating in schools, make healthy eating part of the school inspection arrangements and enable Ministers to specify nutritional standards in food and drink provided for pupils on school premises.
