HL Deb 13 May 2002 vol 635 c10WA
Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their annual budget for programmes that help United Kingdom retailers comply with mandatory labelling schemes resulting from European Union directives; and [HL4163]

What is their annual budget for educational and promotional information campaigns aimed at United Kingdom consumers on mandatory labelling schemes resulting from European Union directives. [HL4164]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

There is no single or fixed government budget for either. Departments with responsibility for the particular legislation will allocate funds for these purposes as required. Requirements will depend on the scope and age of the legislation concerned.
