HC Deb 06 February 1979 vol 962 c131W
Mr. Welsh

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list his ministerial responsibilities for the processing, manufacture and distribution of food in Scotland.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

My right hon. Friend's statutory responsibilities in this sector are mainly related to food safety, hygiene and standards. He has, of course, a general interest in this and other industries located in Scotland.
