§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether he will take steps to ensure full disclosure of bread ingredients on wrappers and bread advertising.
§ Mr. StrangI have been asked to reply.

One of the issues dealt with in the draft directive is the listing of the ingredients of food, including bread. We propose to await the outcome of these discussions before deciding further action.
