Jamie Oliver praise for Brighton 'sugar tax' plan
Television chef, Jamie Oliver, has praised Brighton and Hove City Council for considering a voluntary tax on sales of sugary drinks.
Participating restaurants and food outlets would adopt a 10p levy on soft drinks with added sugar.
Oliver called sugary drinks a "treat and not hydration". He said the tax plan was "a symbolic move to say enough is enough".
Brighton's Director of Public Health, Dr Tom Scanlon, told Phil Williams on 5 Live, a single can of fizzy drink could give someone their entire recommended daily intake of sugar.
