HC Deb 20 March 1967 vol 743 cc198-9W
82. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, if he will seek powers to ensure that the quality labelling of fruit and vegetables is extended to fruit and vegetables at the point of sale to shoppers.

Mr. Peart

Not at present. We must see how we get on with the statutory grades that we are about to introduce for apples, pears, cucumbers, tomatoes and cauliflowers when sold in bulk. These grades could not in any case be applied as they stand to small quantities and single units.
