§ Mr. ThurnhamTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has received any representations for a change in the law to bring the contents of low-fat and dairy spreads into line with current laws covering water and vitamin content of butter and margarine; and whether he has any plans to discuss the subject with interested parties.
§ Mr. CurryI have received numerous representations from interested parties during the recent consultation period on the Ministry discussion paper on yellow fats legislation. The views of the food advisory committee are being sought before I decide how to proceed, but interested parties will be given an opportunity to comment on any proposed changes to existing legislation.
