HC Deb 14 July 1994 vol 246 c714W
Mr. Shersby

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is her latest assessment of the consumption in the United Kingdom diet of fat, saturated fat, salt and non-milk extrinsic sugars; and what change there has been in the figures from those prepared by her Ministry and used to enable production of the 1991 Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy report, "Dietary Reference Values".

Mr. Soames

The information requested, obtained from the national food survey, is in the table. The figures in parentheses take into account the contribution from alcoholic drinks and confectionery brought into the home, which were not recorded in the survey before 1992.

Mr. Soames

The welfare of rabbits during transport is covered by provisions of directive 91/628/EEC on the protection of animals during transport. In Great Britain the directive is implemented by the Welfare of Animals during Transport Order 1992 (S.I. 1992 No. 3304).
