§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what responsibilities his Department has in relation to the provision of, and standards applied to, special food for diabetics.
§ Mrs. FennerApart from my general responsibilities for the nation's food supply, I have no particular responsibilities for the provision of foods for diabetics. I have, however, made the Food Labelling Regulations 1984 which does, amongst other things, control the conditions under which a claim can be made that a food is suitable, or has been specifically made, for diabetics.
