§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what funds he will earmark for local authorities in England to implement the Food Safety Act in 1991–92; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GummerThe Government have made it clear from the time that the Food Safety Bill was published that an extra £30 million a year will be provided through the revenue support grant for food law enforcement in Great Britain from 1991–92. This overall amount was calculated following consultation with local authority associations. The England share, calculated according to the usual formula, will be approximately £25 million.
