Food plan for England condemned by its own lead adviser

Henry Dimbleby says government's response to his review of food system shows no vision and is not a strategy'

The government's lead adviser on food issues has condemned what ministers have billed as a landmark national plan to combat food poverty and obesity, saying it is not a strategy" and warning it could mean more children will go hungry.

Henry Dimbleby's verdict is further bad news for Boris Johnson as the white paper is a direct response to last year's wide-ranging review of Britain's food system, which was led by the restaurateur.
