HC Deb 10 July 1986 vol 101 c261W
54 Miss Maynard

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he expects to introduce measures controlling food irradiation.

Mr. Whitney

Food irradiation is already controlled by the Food (Control of Irradiation) Regulations 1967, as amended, responsibility for the enforcement of which is vested in the local and port health authorities. We have no plans at present for amendments to these regulations.
