HC Deb 23 December 1982 vol 34 c615W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what approaches he has made to the Commission of the EEC in relation to permitting the Welsh language to be used for labelling food and drink in Wales, if so desired by the manufacturers, without a Welsh language label having to accompany an equivalent English label; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

None. It is in the interests of consumers and manufacturers that particulars on labels can be easily understood as required by United Kingdom food and drugs regulations.
