HC Deb 26 October 1977 vol 936 c707W
20 Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what reply he has sent to the request of the dietitian, Dr. Geoffrey Taylor, that a health warning should be placed on sweets, white flour, sugar and cream to encourage healthier eating habits; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moyle

No such request has been received from Dr. Taylor, but I am aware that he is of the opinion that certain foods should carry a health warning. I have no evidence to suggest that the foods mentioned in my hon. Friend's Question constitute a risk to health when eaten in moderation.
