- Description
- MPs on the Women and Equalities Committee think that the Body Mass Index (BMI) is broken, and it is fuelling a body image crisis.
Negative body image is widely perceived as solely a young women’s problem. But research by the Committee has shown the issue to be wider reaching; over a third of the adults in the UK reported feelings of anxiety or depression from their body image.
The Committee’s research found BMI was an inaccurate system for measuring health. The Committee says Government intervention is needed to address the reliance on an outdated measure at the heart of this body image crisis.
The research and recommendations in this video reflect the work of the MPs Women & Equalities Committee and their inquiry into body image.

- The State Opening of Parliament on Tuesday 11th May 2021 marks the formal start of the parliamentary year and The Queen's Speech sets out the government's agenda.
State Opening is the main ceremonial event of the parliamentary calendar. In light of the pandemic, it is expected that this year's State Opening will be adapted, with reduced ceremonial elements and attendees to ensure it is COVID-secure.
When The Queen leaves, a new parliamentary session starts and Parliament gets back to work. Members of both Houses debate the content of the speech and agree an ‘Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Gracious Speech'. Each House continues the debate over the planned legislative programme for several days, looking at different subject areas.
