HC Deb 01 August 1975 vol 896 c668W
Mr. John Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce legislation to enforce minimum standards of alcoholic content of alcoholic beverages produced and sold in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Strang

The Labelling of Food Regulations 1970 require a declaration on the label of the bottle of the minimum alcohol content of intoxicating liquors other than beer, cider, perry and most wines. The Food Standards Committee is reviewing the regulations. The need for legislative action will be considered in the light of the committee's report and representations about its recommendations.
