§ 2. Mr. Brewisasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will review the ban on imported bone-in meat from Argentina.
§ Mrs. FennerNo, Sir. My right hon. Friend and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland are prepared to consider the importation of bone-in meat from those parts of Agentina where foot-and-mouth disease does not occur and where adequate control exists against the introduction of the disease.
§ Mr. BrewisMay I also congratulate my hon. Friend on her first appearance at the Dispatch Box at Question Time? [Interruption.] As conditions are said to have improved in the Argentine, will my right hon. Friend keep the ban under review?
§ Mrs. FennerI had difficulty in hearing my hon. Friend, but I thank him for his kind remarks. I shall keep the matter under review.
