§ Mr. Ryderasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will list measures to encourage competition being considered by his Department.
§ Mr. JoplingCompetition aspects are among the range of considerations taken into account wherever relevant in the formulation of the Ministry's policies. It would not be appropriate to anticipate the outcome, but areas in which the encouragement of competition has particular relevance currently include marketing, food standards and labelling, and in the spread of services provided by the Ministry.
