Re-Classifying Of Health Supplements
EDM number 2002 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 12/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of EU law and treaties and Food.
That this House notes with concern that on 31 December European legislation will come into force overriding food standard laws of all member countries; further notes that widely used herbs, nutrients, homeopathic and other natural remedies are to be relabelled as requiring prescriptions for use, potentially causing an increased cost and time burden on the NHS, limiting the availability of commonly used health supplements, and impacting on UK health food businesses; and calls for the Government to take heed of a public petition submitted to Downing Street and urgently assess the domestic impact of this legislation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs.
