HC Deb 09 March 1982 vol 19 c388W
Mr. Spence

asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the number of meat product manufacturers who are facing multiple prosecutions by local food and drug authorities, in most cases because of uncertainty regarding interpretations of existing regulations, if he will announce a firm date for making new product regulations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

Proposals for new meat product regulations have been issued by my Department arid are now being discussed with all interested parties. The Government will take a decision on these proposals as soon as possible once the discussions have been completed.
