HC Deb 30 October 1986 vol 103 c254W
20. Mr. Pike

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent discussions he has had with food manufacturers about the inclusion of additives in food.

Mr. Donald Thompson

I and my officials regularly receive representations from a wide range of persons and organisations interested in the use of food additives. My right hon. Friend the Minister spoke at the annual luncheon of the Food and Drink Federation on 18 September. I have had no discussions with food manufacturers on this subject.
