§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the restriction currently in force in relation to the advertising of products containing polyunsaturated fats will be reconsidered, in the light of the recommendations as to diet contained in the Royal College of Physicians Report on the prevention of coronary heart disease.
§ Mr. StrangThe Food Standards Committee will, as part of its present full review of all food labelling law, have regard not only to this report but also to the recommendations of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy and to any other relevant information. I am informed that the Advertising Standards Authority and the Independent Broadcasting Authority will also take all these factors into account in considering whether, and if so to what extent, their existing codes of practice need to be changed.
