HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 c154W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what requirement is made of manufacturers of food products and drinks containing cyclamates to notify his Department of the extent of such use, so that an evaluation may be made of the extent of the use of cyclamates in food from time to time.

Mr. Hoy

There is no such requirement, but we have asked food and drink manufacturers, and the enforcement authorities, for information about the present usage of cyclamates. My right hon. Friend is grateful for their co-operation and is publishing the results of the inquiry. He intends to make similar inquiries from time to time as part of the continuous review of the use of cyclamates.
