HC Deb 17 May 1973 vol 856 c356W
Mr. Woof

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why soft drinks are exempted until 5th January 1976 from meeting the requirements of the food standard committee on food labelling.

Mrs. Fenner

Soft drinks are exempted until 5th January 1976 from the provisions of Regulation 5 of the Labelling of Food Regulations 1970, as amended. The exemption was originally given under the Labelling of Food Regulations 1967 because of labelling costs.
