Leaked memo Shows Government in Panic over GM food

A key Cabinet memo leaked to Friends of the Earth shows mounting panic at the heart of Government over policy on genetically modified (GM) food and crops. It reveals that the Government lacks answers to vital GM policy questions on health; on possible environmental damage; on the legality of a moratorium on GM crops; on labelling of food with GM ingredients and even on the Government's proclaimed 'voluntary deal' with the GM industry. The Cabinet Office memo, is dated 19th February 1999. It is classified as "Restricted - Policy".
