HC Deb 18 December 1970 vol 808 c455W
Mr. Golding

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will take steps to examine the safety of canned tuna fish following the United States Food and Drug Administration's discovery that one in five cans of tuna fish sold in the United States contain an unacceptable trace of mercury.

Mr. Prior

Such an examination was started within a few hours of information reaching this country about the findings in the United States of America.
