HC Deb 08 November 1989 vol 159 c674W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he intends to invite a representative from the London Food Commission to participate in the new consumer panel announced by him on 2 November.

Mr. Maclean

I have written to the National Consumer Council, the Consumers Association and the Consumers in the European Community group inviting each organisation to nominate representatives of consumer interests to the consumer panel. I have suggested that in those nominations they should put forward ordinary consumers rather than representatives of particular organisations or lobby groups.
