Mr. Carmichael:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the rates of (a) overweight and (b) obese (i) children (A) under 11 years and (B) aged between 11 and 18 years and (ii) adults were in England, broken down by (1) strategic health authority and (2) primary care trust area in each year since 1997. [69602]
Caroline Flint:
The main source of data on the prevalence of obesity is the Health Survey for England (HSE). The data is not available in the format requested. However, tables one to four provides the most comparable data.
