The scheme has a statutory basis in Wales and Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>Food businesses covered by the scheme are given stickers showing their rating. Those in Wales and Northern Ireland are required by law to display the stickers at their premises and those in England are encouraged to do so.

Proposals will be presented to Welsh Ministers in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The FSA considers that provision of ratings online would be a key element of a statutory scheme for England.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 15/01/2019 16:10:25 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
