§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, further to his answer to the hon. Member for South Shields of 27 June,Official Report, column 443, how he intends to consult the public on his proposals to lift the ban on food irradiation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GummerI intend that there will be ample opportunity for all those matters affected by proposed regulations on food. Under the proposals shoppers would of course be able to make up their minds on irradiation as it is intended that food which has been irradiated will be clearly labelled.
