HC Deb 31 March 1965 vol 709 c1645
23. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will initiate legislative or other action to ensure that containers and packets of perishable food are clearly marked with the date of packaging.

Mr. Hoy

In its recent comprehensive Report on Food Labelling the Food Standards Committee examined this proposal but made no recommendation on it. We are now studying the large number of representations made on the Committee's Report before deciding on the form of new labelling regulations.
