HC Deb 16 June 1955 vol 542 c20W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress has been made in setting up the Food Hygiene Advisory Committee; and in what way this committee is likely to influence the provision of clean and pure food to the consumer.

Mr. Amory

The Food Hygiene Advisory Council has already been set up, and I hope that its first meeting will be held early next month. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Health and I are confident that the advice of the Council will be of great value to us in administering the hygiene and other food provisions of the Food and Drugs Acts.
