Severe Anaphylactic Shock

Baroness Hayman Excerpts

Thursday 26th May 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

I am aware of that. This could, indeed, be very useful in the future.

[Baroness Hayman (CB)]

My Lords, further to the question of the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, while I absolutely support strong regulation to safeguard the health of people who have allergies, does the Minister agree that we have an extraordinary contrast and disparity in our attitude towards some foods that we know can be fatal and other foods, such as genetically modified crops, which two recent reports, including that of the Royal Society, have shown pose no danger whatever to public health?

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

What the noble Baroness says is very true. I cannot add much to that because I agree with it.
