    Foreword The issues raised by genetic manipuiation are clearly of great importance to consumers. Here at the National Consumer Council, we felt that it would be helpful to commission advice before we took any views on the subject ourselves. Our food policy committee therefore commissioned this paper from Roger Straughan of Reading University. We believe that it is an interesting and helpful analysis of the issues involved and that it will be helpful to others besides ourselves as a basis for promoting an informed public debate on the subject. VJe have therefore decided to circulate it as a discussion paper We should very much appreciate any comments you want to make on Dr Straughan's paper We should like to have views from the widest possible range of interested people before coming to any conclusion on the subject ourselves.
