HC Deb 09 June 1988 vol 134 c665W
80. Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of recent salmonella incidents, he has any plans to review his policy on food regulation.

Mrs. Currie

My hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food had already announced on 30 October 1987 that officials had been asked to have further consultations with interested parties to consider the detail of any necessary revisions to current food legislation. I understand that these consultations are continuing, but are expected to be completed by late summer.
