HC Deb 28 October 1982 vol 29 c504W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether Her Majesty's Government will introduce legislation to establish a statutory ingredient declaration on compound animal foodstuffs.

Mrs. Fenner

The Feeding Stuffs Regulations 1982 laid before the House on 25 August permit full lists of ingredients to be given; but, on the evidence submitted to me so far, I consider that the cost of mandatory ingredient listing would outweigh its advantages.
