§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, following the report of the National Consumer Council on food policy and the consumer, he intends to alter his Department's arrangements for making public responses to consultation exercises.
§ Mr. RyderI am pleased to announce that, following a recommendation by the National Consumer Council, we will, in future, arrange for a list of names and addresses of respondents to all formal consultation exercises in the food area to be made available to anyone on request. This will enable people to contact relevant organisations if they want to examine responses in detail. We will also consider issuing summaries of the responses, whenever we can.
