§ 53. Mr. John Hallasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish the reviews of the use of food additives made by the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee in the light of reports by the British Industrial Biological Research Association.
§ Mr. HoyYes. It is the usual practice to publish the reports of the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee.
§ 61. Sir B. Jannerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied that, whilst each individual food additive permitted under the controlled quantities by the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee 71W may not constitute a hazard to health, all the food additives so authorised, or under current use without authorisation, do not, combined together, constitute such a hazard; and whether he will seek the advice of the Committee on that aspect of the matter.
§ Mr. HoyThe total use of food additives and their interaction are matters which are taken into account by the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee in the recommendations they make for the control of these substances.
