HC Deb 27 July 1989 vol 157 cc951-2W
33. Mr. Riddick

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has received a copy of the recent London Food Commission report on the fruit juice content of some soft drinks; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclean

This report has recently been brought to the attention of the Department but I have not yet had an opportunity to study it. However, we have already circulated for public comment draft proposals for the revision of the Soft Drink Regulations 1964 which, inter alia would introduce a requirement for the declaration of fruit juice content on the labels of fruit juice based drinks.
