§ Mr. Roy HughesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action is now being taken to ensure that food is transported in the most hygienic conditions possible.
§ Mr. FreemanI have been asked to reply.
The transport of food is already covered by the Food Hygiene (Markets, Stalls and Delivery Vehicles) Regulations 1966.
On 4 July 1989 we began consultation on proposed amending regulations to apply temperature controls to certain foods carried in delivery vehicles.
