§ Mr. Johnasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish either a draft of the regulations he intends to make under the food and environment 79W protection Bill or a detailed statement of the proposed content of those regulations before the Bill receives its Second Reading in the House.
§ Mrs. FennerNo. I am concerned that either the publication of draft regulations or a detailed statement of their proposed content would prejudge the outcome of further consultation. However, Ministers expect to give an indication of the nature of the intended regulations in relation to points of concern to hon. Members during the course of debate in Parliament.
