Answered by Ross Finnie on 22 May 2001 · 7 days after it was lodged, on time

Officials of the Health Department, Rural Affairs Department and the Food Standards Agency had a constructive meeting with representatives of the Scottish Berry Group on 23 April 2001 to discuss their proposals for a pilot berry project. The group agreed to develop its proposal further and present this to the Executive for consideration. We expect to receive this shortly.
