I apologise for being late. I was speaking in the Chamber. I would like to particularly welcome the Minister of State back to this room in a different capacity. I wish him very well in his new role. I would like to start with the commitments in the programme for Government in respect of the epidemic, as it is described, of obesity. The first commitment was to work with stakeholders to introduce a public health obesity Act including examining restrictions on promotion and advertising aimed at children. Where are we now in the dying days of this Government in respect of that commitment?
