HC Deb 14 July 1960 vol 626 cc125-6W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has considered the recent legislation in the United States of America which has banned all additives to food other than those specifically authorised by the Government, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Willesden, West; and if he is considering the introduction of similar legislation in this country.

Mr. Hare

I have considered recent American legislation on food additives, but I do not contemplate similar legislation in this country. We deal with the problem differently, although our aim is equally the protection of the consumer.
