HC Deb 14 November 1996 vol 285 cc335-6W
Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what guidance his Department issues regarding nutritional standards of food for school-age children; and if he will make a statement. [3421]

Mr. Horam

A sub-group of the nutrition task force is currently working on voluntary guidance for school providers. The guidance is due for publication early in 1997 and has been the result of a joint initiative between this department, the Department for Education and Employment, the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and a project team comprising key individuals with an interest in the area.
