Salt Intake

EDM number 761 in 1998-99, proposed by Kerry Pollard on 24/06/1999.

That this House believes that people's salt intake in the United Kingdom is too high, leading to increases in blood pressure which in turn is responsible for an increasing number of strokes and heart attacks, the two commonest causes of death in the United Kingdom; recognises that 80 per cent. of the salt intake in the general population now comes from salt added to processed food; and calls on the Government to do everything possible to reduce salt intake by putting pressure on the food industry to reduce the salt content of processed food, as has been shown to be possible by the ASDA initiative where the salt content of their processed food has been reduced by between 10 per cent. and 25 per cent.

This motion has been signed by a total of 131 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
