§ 47. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations have been made to him regarding the need to establish standards for the meat content of sausages; and what action he is taking in the matter.
Mr. AmoryI have received representations from a number of food and drugs authorities and from organisations 1931 representing public analysts, manufacturers and traders. I have asked the Food Standards Committee to review the position.
§ Mr. DoddsIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the efforts he is making to rid the sausage of suspicion will receive almost universal approval?
Mr. AmoryI assure the hon. Gentleman that I am very solicitous that the homely "banger" should be held in high repute and will take every step I can to ensure that that is so.
