HC Deb 27 February 1984 vol 55 c78W
Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the discussion document recently published by the National Advisory Committee on Health and Nutrition Education was commissioned by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. John Patten

No. The preparation of the discussion document "Proposals for nutritional guidelines for health education in Britain" issued by the Health Education Council last year, was an initiative by the National Advisory Committee on Nutrition Education (NACNE). NACNE is a joint British Nutrition Foundation/Health Education Council Committee, the membership of which is drawn from a wide range of nutrition education interests and includes two officials from the Department.
