Sadiq Khan to Ban Junk Food Advertising on London Transport to Tackle Child Obesity

Independent - Junk food advertising will be banned from London's tube and bus network, under plans put forward by the city's mayor that steal a march on Theresa May.

Sadiq Khan said the move was necessary to curb the "ticking timebomb" of child obesity, which has left almost 40 per cent of 10 and 11-year-olds in the capital overweight or obese.
