How much do your organisations lobby to alter, weaken or delay measures to improve public health and re…” | 88 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “I keep asking one question and sort of getting a side answer.

| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “I get that. Just talking about cost to business again, if I may.

| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “No, I am talking about a pre-prepared food that is full of sugar, salt and fat, as opposed to one which is not.

| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “I am going to have to leave that there; maybe you could write to us. I have asked you to provide specific examples of what is not working and you keep saying rather general things. If you can tell me more specifics afterward, it would be lovely to hear from you. I would appreciate that. Can I just ask a question about …” | 90 |

| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “Forgive me for being so direct with you, but it is probably better that I am direct with you than not; you are talking very floppily. Give some specifics of how it is causing a problem to your sector.” | 39 |

| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “No, I get the generalities, a couple of specifics would be helpful. More specifically, what is wrong about what has happened as far as your sector goes? We can all abstract and philosophise, but specifics are really helpful.” | 38 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “What is wrong with the way it is delivered that you would improve?” | 13 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “Yes, but how is that problematical? Chicken shops are popping up everywhere. I cannot go down the high street where I live, or anywhere nearby, without one; it seems every third shop is a chicken shop. Stuffed full of salt, fats, chickens themselves probably stuffed full of antibiotics that encourages resistance and th…” | 82 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1181) “Give an example of what is difficult. What difficulties are caused by the fact that there is not an understanding of how your sector operates?” | 25 |
