According to its website:
- The Westminster Diet and Health Forum aims to provide the premier environment where parliamentarians, senior policy advisors, regulators and other decision makers can discuss critical issues, and exchange ideas and information with leaders from industry, responsible interest groups, analysts, academics, journalists and others.
- The Forum strives to be as inclusive, encompassing and relevant as possible. One aspect of this is a standard practice of all sessions including comments and questions from the floor. Another is flexibility in the planning of events to enable current and newly emerging issues to be reflected.
- In planning its programme of events the Forum consults parliamentarians, senior departmental officials, regulators, industry representatives and major interest groups. The WD&HF has no policy agenda of its own.
The Forum a project of Westminster Forum Projects a UK Limited Company, (Company number: 3856121)
