HC Deb 11 July 1969 vol 786 cc319-20W
Mr. Scott

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the fact that the United States Food and Drug Administration has proposed a limit of 25 parts per million of cylohexylamine in cyclamate sweeteners, compared with 100 parts per million in this country, he will now consider taking similar action to control the level of this compound in food and drink in the interests of public health.

Mr. Hoy

Further research into cyclohexylamine is being carried out, as recommended by the Food Additives and Contaminants Committee. My right hon. Friend and his right hon. Friends will reconsider the question of limits as soon as the results of this research are available.
