HC Deb 14 May 1996 vol 277 c420W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to investigate possible links between diet and disruptive behaviour and learning difficulties in children. [28933]

Mr. Horam

The Department's advisory committee—the Committee on the Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment—will be reviewing the issue of adverse reactions to food and food additives this year. The review will include assessing whether there is any firm evidence that food may affect behaviour in children.
