§ 105. Mr. John Hallasked the President of the Board of Trade what was the volume and cost of cyclamates imported into the United Kingdom during the last 12 months for which figures are available; and what is his estimate of the probable increase in the volume and cost of such imports during the 12 months following the recent introduction of the artificial sweeteners in food regulations permitting the unrestricted use of such cyclamates in food.
§ Mr. Darling:385 tons valued at £100,000 (c.i.f.) in 1967. The extent to which the level of imports of cyclamates might rise as a result of the new regulations will depend on the extent to which food manufacturers make use of these artificial sweeteners and how far they meet their needs from home production.
