HC Deb 28 June 1990 vol 175 cc330-1W
29. Mr. Loyden

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has any proposals to change the present arrangements concerning food inspection which lie within his responsibilities.

Mr. Maclean

My hon. Friend the Minister of State stated in another place on 5 December 1989 that the powers in clause 5(4) of the Food Safety Bill to vary the division of responsibility for food law enforcement would be used to continue broadly the existing split of responsibilities in England and Wales.
