HC Deb 02 December 1986 vol 106 c617W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has any plans to introduce regulations relating to irradiated food.

Mrs. Currie

We have no plans at present for further amendments to the Food (Control of Irradiation) Regulations 1967 which, in effect, prohibit the irradiation of food. I also refer the hon. Member to my reply to the right hon. Member for Brent, East (Mr. Freeson) on 23 October at columns978–80.
