§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will refer the additives tartrazine and sunset yellow to the Food Advisory Committee for re-assessment.
§ Mr. MacleanThese two substances are covered by the recent Food Advisory Committee review on the use of colouring matter in food on which I shall be announcing my decisions shortly. I therefore have no plans to ask the Food Advisory Committee to re-assess them unless or until any new scientific evidence about them becomes available.
