HC Deb 27 June 1968 vol 767 cc120-1W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received on the use of cyclamates by food and drink manufacturers since the labelling of Food Regulations 1967 were made; and what further action he now proposes to take to control their use.

Mr. Hoy

A few representations have been received but no matters have been raised that were not previously considered, nor do the Pharmacology sub-Committee of the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee see any grounds for amending their previous recommendations on the safety-in-use of cyclamates.

We shall keep the question of the use of cyclamates in food under continuous review but I do not think further action is required at the present time.
