Mr. Rose

asked the Minister of Agricultur, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce regulations to control the period of time during which meat products may be stored and for the last day to be stamped clearly on the packages.

Mr. Prior

This is one of the matters being considered by the Food Standards Committee as part of its review of date- marking of food. The need for regulations will be considered in the light of the committee's report.
