I agree with the last speaker that a sugar tax is a good thing. I agree with what the Government is doing. We should ensure the money raised is put into education and health. Better education will help our youngsters, and our grown-ups in some cases, to use better food and to avoid these soft drinks. I will oppose the amendment. I commend the Government on what it has done.
