British Agriculture and Food Labelling

Proceeding contribution from Jane Kennedy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on British Agriculture and Food Labelling.
That is within the scope of the discussions that are taking place in the European Commission about how we as a Community should improve the laws on labelling, in order to make sure that there is not misleading labelling used in the way that the hon. Gentleman describes. Let me respond to the accusation, which has been repeated, that nothing has been done in 10 years. First, the FSA has been created, and the guidance it has issued has brought about real changes in the quality of labelling. That has clearly opened up the possibility of further criticism, which has been trenchantly made today—
