Food Standards Agency: Powers
(asked on 4th June 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what additional powers he plans to confer on the Food Standards Agency after the UK leaves the EU.
This question was answered on 10th June 2019
Decisions about what additional powers could be transferred to the Food Standards Agency after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union would be subject to consultation. We need to understand the nature of the decisions further before setting out which powers can be delegated. Decisions would sit with Ministers in the first instance while routine and technical ones would be delegated later.
