The MPs warned that food that is high in fat, sugar and salt is "often considerable cheaper" per calorie than healthy food, fuelling obesity levels in poorer households. It said the struggle to get good quality food at reasonable prices and turning to unhealthy alternatives is likely to contribute to making 40% of the population obese by 2025. The report says the promotion by retailers of relatively low-cost food which is high in calories but low in other nutrients - like biscuits, burgers and other highly processed items - has led many poorer people in the UK to become obese. The MPs also raised concerns that "many households are skipping meals" as supermarkets pay high levels of dividends to shareholders. It said nearly 18% of households experienced moderate or severe food insecurity in January as prices hit 40-year highs.

The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Committee is calling on the government to explore the options of extending the provision of free school meals and to break the "junk food cycle".
"Labour's so-called plan is laughable and the British public should see it for what it is - a total distraction."Ī fifth of UK households are struggling to get access to good quality food at reasonable prices, causing them to turn to high-calorie alternatives which is likely contributing to obesity, a report by MPs warned. She said Labour would "redirect money being spent on the Tories' failing Rwanda scheme to relentlessly target these criminal smuggling gangs" while also backing a new cross-border police unit.Ī government source said: "Labour has no plan to stop the boats and even the NCA accept giving them more money won't solve it. Ms Cooper said: "The Conservatives' failed approach has given a free pass to smuggler and trafficking gangs who are undermining our border security and putting lives at risk with small boat crossings." Labour said a new plan is needed amid the rise in small boats crossings over recent years. The 2018 document does include a section on "organised immigration crime", warning it "involves the illegal facilitation by organised crime groups of migrants to access or remain illegally in the UK through a variety of methods and routes".

The party said the current strategy does not mention "Channel crossings" and lacked a clear set of responsibilities for either the National Crime Agency or regional organised crime units to tackle the issue. Labour is calling for a new serious and organised crime strategy to replace the current 2018 plan, which the party said was five years out of date. The party said convictions for criminal people smuggling have fallen by 36% since Labour were last in office in 2010, as shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper accused ministers of presiding over a "failed approach". The government needs to replace the current "outdated" serious crime strategy to properly tackle smuggling gangs and people traffickers, Labour has said.
