UK Government minister shares a video of his meal deal and criticises Welsh Government's healthy eating law

A UK Government Minister and the Secretary of State for Wales, David TC Davies MP, has criticised the Welsh Government's plan to introduce a new law on meal deals. On Tuesday, the Welsh Government announced their plan for a new legislation to ban certain foods from meal deals in a bid to tackle obesity.

The new legislation is set to be introduced in the Senedd next year and is expected to become law in 2025. But David TC Davies MP has called the decision "wrong" and believes it "should be reversed". In a video shared on Twitter on Wednesday, the Conservative politician shared his thoughts on the Welsh Government's plan accompanied with a meal deal consisting of a protein shake, pasta and a bag of crisps.
