HC Deb 01 November 1989 vol 159 c214W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he intends introducing legislation to regulate the use of descriptions such as low fat, no added sugar and high in fibre in food labelling.

Mr. Maclean

Yes. The legislation is intended to form part of the regulations to protect consumers from misleading nutrition claims which I announced in reply to my hon. Friend, the Member for Daventry (Mr. Boswell) on 28 July at column1153.
