To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the position held by Professor Frank Woods with the Food Advisory Committee. [78562]

Mr. Rooker

Since the Food Advisory Committee (FAC) was formed in 1983, it has been standard practice for the Chairman of the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment to be included in the membership. Under this arrangement, Professor Woods has been a member of the FAC since 1992.
