§ Mr. Colin Shepherdasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, whether the Government have completed the review of food legislation begun by the previous Administration; if so, what their conclusions are; and if they will issue a consultative document.
§ Mr. WigginThe review has been completed. The Government have concluded that major changes in the law are not necessary at present and therefore no consultative document will be issued. It would, however, be desirable to strengthen the law controlling the sale of food unfit for human consumption, and interested organisations will be consulted about this shortly.
