§ 89. Mr. John Hallasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the consideration by the Economic Commission of the European Economic Community with regard to the co-ordination of member States' legislation concerning the use of cyclamates as additives to food destined for human consumption which have resulted in investigations being made into the toxicity of this substance, he will take account of the result of these investigations before reaching any decision about the use of cyclamates in food in this country.
§ Mr. HoyResearch and investigation are going on all the time and it would 85W not be practicable to wait for all current work on this subject to be concluded. My right hon. Friend is however awaiting a further report from the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee on the results of work done on the toxicology of cyclamates since their Report in November, 1965.
