HC Deb 23 January 1985 vol 71 c451W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make available to interested hon. Members the report completed by officials on food legislation in the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Fenner

The report produced by officials has been published in the form of a consultative document which was circulated on 19 December 1984 to interested organisations for comment. Copies of this document have been placed in the Library of the House.

Mr. Cohen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the envisaged time scale for the consultative process in connection with food legislation policy; and whether arrangements will be made for the representations from interested organisations to be published in full.

Mrs. Fenner

Comments on the consultative document on the review of food legislation have been requested by 1 June 1985. I have no plans to publish representations received by my Department.
