If I were to bring in representatives of Coca-Cola and of some of the retailers before the committee, one side would say we are a nanny state and that it is a matter of parental responsibility while the representatives before us would say that they are manipulating people by marketing, but let us stick to hardcore financial issues. Would Ms Loughnane's organisation promote a blanket ban on the dispensing of drinks from vending machines in secondary schools such as there is in primary schools?
