A Labour government would impose tough restrictions on the sale and advertising of alcohol, unhealthy food and tobacco, according to a leaked policy document.
According to a Labour policy document leaked to the Mail on Sunday, the party's key changes to the sale and advertising of alcohol, junk food and tobacco, include:
Alcohol
Labour says: "Up to 35% of all A&E attendances and ambulance costs may be alcohol related and up to 70% at weekend peak times."
Tobacco
So "children born in 2015 will become the first smoke-free generation for hundreds of years."
Junk Food
"The health consequences of obesity alone are estimated to coat the NHS more than £5 billion every year and cases of malnutrition are on the rise," the document states.
