“Ministers are reportedly considering letting in products like chlorinated chicken and hormone-fed beef into British supermarkets, ”
What does “reportedly considering” actually mean in this situation?

“reportedly:
according to what some say (used to express the speaker's belief that the information given is not necessarily true).”
“Considering:
taking into consideration.”
Sounds just vague enough to be a paper making up news for a quiet day without enough conviction to actually be pulled up on it!
We all know it will be talked about in discussions, it’s not like the US is just going to never mention it again, regardless of whether we have any intention of doing it or not!

Do you have any opinion on us letting food into our supply chain that doesn’t meet our safety standards?

Re: Bye Bye Boris!
I’ve no doubt there’ll end up being some truth to it, but that article just read as opinion at this stage - there was no actual reporting of any new facts in it was there?
