Debate: The Change4Life Be Food Smart Campaign NDM5159 Jane Hutt (Vale of Glamorgan) To propose that the National Assembly for Wales: 1. Notes that the Welsh Government launched ‘Food Smart’

health in Wales. Insert as new point 1 and re-number accordingly: Regrets that out of the 10 local authority areas with the

by ensuring that children have a choice of healthy eating options at schools
