BREASTFEEDING

That this House notes with concern that the UK has one of the lowest rate of breastfeeding in Europe; further notes that the Minister for Public Health is soon to make a decision on Commission Directive 2006/141/EC of 22nd December 2006 on Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula regarding the promotion of formula milks in the UK; and urges the Minister to take this opportunity to implement the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes adopted by the World Health Assembly in 1981 to protect both babies' health and parents' rights to impartial information by effectively prohibiting the advertising of infant formula, fully implement the International Code, and realise objective 7 of the Breastfeeding Manifesto.
