Food Standards Agency
Scottish Parliament Written answers, 27 October 2009
Rob Gibson (Scottish National Party) | Question S3W-28017
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it considers £750,000 spent by the Food Standards Agency on consumer engagement on GM foods to be a good use of public money.
Roseanna Cunningham (Scottish National Party)
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has advised me that their department has been asked by the UK Government to carry out a programme of consumer engagement on GM food. The FSA informs me that this programme is at the initial stages of development and a budget has still to be finalised. I will consider any Scottish implications when more detailed proposals have been provided.
