HC Deb 11 February 1970 vol 795 c337W
44. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce regulations to provide for the date-stamping by manufacturers of perishable food for retail sale.

Mr. Hoy

No. My right hon. Friend and his right hon. Friends have accepted the view expressed by the Food Standards Committee in its Report on Food Labelling that such a requirement is not practicable.
