Food Irradiation and the Women's Institute and Consumers' Association Lobby

EDM number 562 in 1989-90, proposed by Richard Body on 16/02/1990.

That this House seeks an assurance that Her Majesty's Government will not remove the ban on the irradiation of food until many unresolved safety issues have been addressed, in particular its effects on packaging, pesticides and food additives, and that it will not introduce irradiation without a practical and reliable set of tests that can detect irradiation and the dosage in all foodstuffs; and welcomes the National Federation of Women's Institutes and Consumers' Association lobby on 22nd February highlighting consumer fears of irradiation and requesting that Her Majesty's Government guarantees time to both Houses to debate this issue prior to the introduction of regulations.

This motion has been ammended, see 1182A1.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
