§ Ms CorstonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to her answers of 27 June,Official Report, columns 413–14, and 12 July, Official Report, columns 525–26, if she will list the reports issued by her Department since 1985 in which information is specifically given about the relationship between family disposable income and the extent to which the daily amounts for energy and nutrients, recommended by the panels and committees appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture, have been met.
§ Mr. JackI have been asked to reply.
Information on the relationship between nutrient intake and family disposable income is not available. However, each annual report of the National Food Survey Committee gives the percentage of the estimated average requirements for energy and reference nutrient intake for nutrients met by the household diet in families in different income groups based on the gross income of the head of household. Copies of these reports are in the Library of the House.
