HC Deb 28 March 1988 vol 130 c312W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received seeking regulations to prevent pet shops selling contaminated peanuts for human consumption, particularly by children.

Mr. Donald Thompson

I have received two representations on this subject.

As I said in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Warrington, South (Mr. Butler) on 17 February, at column 677, it should be self-evident to the public that feed sold in pet shops was not intended for human consumption.
