HC Deb 21 April 1978 vol 948 c388W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will give an assurance that no amendment will be made to the Licensing of Food Regulations 1970 which will make it impossible for consumers to identify the origin of foods from countries such as South Africa and Chile; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Silkin

I assure my hon. Friend that I have no intention of amending the Labelling of Food Regulations 1970 in such a way that consumers would be unable to identify food coming from countries such as South Africa and Chile.
