HC Deb 10 December 1996 vol 287 c108W
Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent representations he has received on the labelling of vegetarian cheese. [7843]

Mrs. Browning

The only representations that have been received on the labelling of vegetarian cheese in the last year have concerned that produced using genetic modification. As many of the letters received on genetic modification over this period have covered a wide range of issues it is not possible to give precise figures easily on the number that have mentioned the labelling of vegetarian cheese but it is estimated to be fewer than 25.
