HC Deb 27 February 1956 vol 549 c80W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what decision has been reached in the consideration given to the addition to foods of colouring matters, including coal-tar dyes.

Mr. Amory

The Report of the Food Standards Committee is now being examined in the light of the many representations recently received. I am as anxious as the hon. Member that a decision should be reached without avoidable delay. I hope, that it may be possible to announce a decision within about two months.
