Slimming Diseases

EDM number 452 in 1997-98, proposed by Alice Mahon on 12/11/1997.

That this House is deeply concerned that over 5,000 children are being treated on the NHS for serious eating disorders; believes this problem is growing; calls upon the Government to bring forward proposals to regulate the diet industry; and believes the fashion industry and leading image makers should be called upon to act in a responsible way by using young models more representative of the population, instead of unhealthily thin young people who are increasingly seen as role models by vulnerable children.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
