HC Deb 08 June 1982 vol 25 cc23-4W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the feasibility study and inquiry into the use of indigenous products for starch production set up by his Department under Professor Elton.

Mrs. Fenner

As part of the continuing contacts between representatives of the food and drink industries and officials of my Department concerned with research and development, an informal ad hoc joint group is to examine technical aspects of the production and use of starch from home-grown materials. It is expected that the group will be chaired by a scientist from industry.
