HC Deb 28 January 1988 vol 126 c318W
Dr. Twinn

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to announce his response to the Food Advisory Committee final report on the Colouring Matter in Foods Regulations 1979.

Mr. Donald Thompson

We received a large number of detailed representations on the recommendations in the report, and these need to be carefully evaluated before I can come to any conclusion on the issues. We are dealing with the matter as quickly as possible and I shall make an announcement just as soon as we have reached decisions.
