HC Deb 27 June 1973 vol 858 cc350-1W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the EEC directive on non-medicinal additives to feeding stuffs has to be implemented; and when the appropriate United Kingdom statutory instrument is to be published.

Mrs. Fenner

Since Directive 70/524 was included in the Treaty of Accession with an operative date of 1st July 1973 for the United Kingdom, there have been discussions in the Community institutions about its provisions and an amending Directive 73/103 was adopted on 28th April last. A statutory instrument implementing the provisions of these directives relating to non-medicinal additives in animal feeding stuffs will be laid before Parliament very shortly.
