HC Deb 22 January 1990 vol 165 cc567-8W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether he will conduct his own research into the effects of microwave oven heating on food containing amino acids; and if he will make a statement;

(2) whether he will conduct his own research to ascertain the chemical effects of microwave oven heating on milk; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclean

No. I gave a clear explanation of my Department's views of Professor Lubec's research on 13 December 1989,Official Report, column 698. I have no new information at this time that would justify my Department conducting its own research in this area.
