ANNEX A: REGULATORY IMPACT ASSESSMENT Extension of Product Liability to Primary Agricultural Products Results of consultation
The DTI and MAFF in England and Wales consulted 115 interested parties on a UK wide basis in 1998 and overall the results did not throw up any significant problems for industry.  Whilst concerns were aired in relation to insurance increases, no hard facts and figures were given.  Consumers welcomed the proposal believing that the extension of product liability to primary agricultural products was long overdue.
