HC Deb 13 May 1969 vol 783 cc193-4W
Sir D. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to make it compulsory for imported canned and other foodstuffs for sale to show the actual named country of origin rather than the general phrase foreign produce.

Mr. Hoy

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade on 30th April to the question by my hon. Friend the Member for Eton and Slough (Miss Lestor). Similar considerations would apply to the marking of all imported foodstuffs.
