§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food at which Council of the European Union he expects the forthcoming draft directive on dietary supplements to be considered; and who will represent the United Kingdom at that Council. [33178]
§ Mrs. Browning[holding answer on 17 June 1996]: If the EU Commission tables a draft directive on dietary supplements, we would expect it to be considered at the Internal Market Council.
