HC Deb 05 June 1984 vol 61 c138W
Mr. Rathbone

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he intends to lay the Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations; and when he proposes that they come into force.

Mrs. Fenner

We aim to lay the new food labelling regulations before the summer recess. They will come into force on 1 July 1986 but will allow the sale after that date of foods which were prepacked before 1 January 1986 in compliance with the food labelling regulations 1980.
