HC Deb 13 October 1975 vol 897 cc571-2W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received concerning the EEC requirements concerning the weight and quantity of information required on the labels of Grade 2 round-head cabbages; what answers have been given; what share of this trade is sold direct to the catering trade; what advantages derive from such labelling; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Strang

While no precise figures are available, my information is that the great majority of round-head cabbages are sold through the wholesale markets. As for the other parts of the Question, I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. Member by my right hon. Friend on 21st May.—[Vol. 892, c.434–5.]
