§ 73. Mr. Willie W. Hamiltonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the decision made by his Department to withdraw from the Health Education Council's new healthy eating guide a warning to cut sugar consumption.
§ Mr. Donald ThompsonMy Department has not imposed any amendment on any publication issued by the Health Education Council relating to sugar. A publication on healthy eating which is being sponsored jointly by the Government and the Health Education Council will contain an agreed section on the consumption of sugar which is in line with current medical and scientific opinion as regards the effect of this substance on diet and health.
