To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list all the food additives for which he has withdrawn approval since 1979, giving in each case the year when the additive was withdrawn; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 21 December 1989,Official Report, column 457. Since then, the approval for the use of potassium bromate as a flour treatment agent has been withdrawn.
