Chris Hipkins revealed an unexpected policy announcement in last night's debate.

During last night's event, Hipkins said he wanted to ban sugary drinks in secondary schools- claiming they already were in primary schools.

Today, he claimed he'd misremembered banning sugary drinks from primary schools, but had consulted on this issue as Education Minister.

Health Coalition Aotearoa co-chair Boyd Swinburne said Chris Hipkins had the opportunity to introduce tougher measures against sugary drinks in schools. 

"It was a kind of policy that didn't have much impact. But it was put on the table by the Ministry of Education and went out for consultation about what schools should be doing in this respect."
