What the petition asks
Having repealed this act, if the Government wants to reintroduce it they should hold a public consultation & invite the public to have its say, since it directly relates to the way food is being produced.
We believe it's democratic and right thing to do.
The Government should involve the public in matters that directly affect their health & wellbeing.
The Government should provide detailed information about any health implications/benefits that may result from the use of genetic technology, ahead of any future consultation or public vote.
