HC Deb 29 June 1978 vol 952 cc682-3W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions he has had with the EEC Commission on the Commission's proposals to prohibit the sale of synthetic acetic acid in food, thus resulting in traditional non-brewed vinegar ceasing to be available for fish and chips.

Mr. Bishop

None. The Commission has not so far submitted any proposal to the Council of Ministers on this subject.
