HC Deb 28 June 1973 vol 858 cc370-1W
40. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will investigate the claims of particular types of bread advertised for slimming purposes to see if these claims are exaggerated.

Mrs. Fenner

Claims for food, including bread, advertised for slimming purposes are controlled by the Labelling of Food Regulations 1970. The Food Standards Committee during its current review of the Bread and Flour Regulations is considering whether any amendments are required to these controls as they relate to bread.
