§ Mr. Kelleyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps, if any, are taken to identify eggs coming from abroad which have been laid by poultry fed on antibiotics.
§ Mrs. FennerWe do not seek to identify eggs produced by birds fed on antibiotics. Most of our imports of eggs are coming from other EEC countries, where the more important antibiotics may not be fed to laying birds unless prescribed by a veterinarian.
