§ Mrs. FennerThe Food Labelling Regulations 1984 which came into operation on 19 September 1984 represents a very substantial improvement in food labelling law. We are, however, considering the recommendation for improved labelling of the fat content 261W of foods which was contained in the report of the committee on medical aspects of food policy on diet and cardiovascular disease. Industry representatives have also discussed with my officials the possibility of full nutrition labelling of foods. We hope to make an announcement shortly.
