Proceeding contribution from Lord Mitchell (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Alcohol Labelling Bill [HL].


Alcohol Labelling Bill [HL]

The amendment is a very useful contribution by the noble Baroness, Lady Coussins. It was suggested by her and it deals with an area which, frankly, I had not anticipated. In response to the noble Lord, Lord Monson, surely chocolates containing alcohol are covered by paragraph (a) of the amendment which states, ““classified as a foodstuff””. I would think that his delicious chocolates are probably covered as a foodstuff. I am also pleased that the 0.5 per cent mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord McColl, is a threshold requirement. On Question, amendment agreed to.
