25th Anniversary Of The Adoption Of The International Code Of Marketing Of Breastmilk Substitutes By The World Health Assembly

EDM number 2157 in 2005-06, proposed by Lynne Jones on 11/05/2006.

That this House celebrates the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes by the World Health Assembly; recognises the Code and subsequent relevant Resolutions as essential tools for protecting infant health and ensuring parents, carers and health workers receive information on infant feeding free from commercial pressure; congratulates those governments that have implemented the Code and Resolutions in legislation; notes with concern that despite supporting the Code, Resolutions and the Assembly's Global Strategy on Infant and Young Child Feeding at international meetings and being called on by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2003 to implement the Code, the UK Government has still not done so; and therefore calls on the Government to introduce legislation, policies and guidelines for enforcement authorities, fully in line with the Code and Resolutions, as soon as possible and to work to bring relevant EU Directives and other international measures into line.

This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs.
