HC Deb 05 December 1966 vol 737 c212W
107. Mr. John Hall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the studies of the reports submitted by the British Industrial Biological Research Association on food additives have yet been completed; and what additives are thought to constitute a present or long-term hazard to health.

Mr. Hoy

My right hon. Friends are advised on food additives by the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee which continuously and regularly reviews the use of these substances in the light of all available information, including reports by B.I.B.R.A. The list of permitted additives in the relevant regulations exclude substances thought to constitute a hazard to health.
