KAVA KAVA

Early day motion 1241, tabled 19 May 2003 by David Tredinnick (Conservative). Signed by 8 members.

That this House notes with interest the decision to allow the National Association of Health Stores to proceed with its application for a full judicial review of the decisions of the Food Standards Agency and the Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency to ban the use of kava kava in food and medicines; commends the NAHS on this move to expose the lack of a real scientific basis for these decisions and the mishandling of the decision-making process by these two agencies; and looks forward to the outcome of the review.

Signatures by party: Conservative 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Scottish National Party 2, UUP 1.
