Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether Avoparcin can legally be fed to dairy cattle in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Yes. Such use has been permitted since 16 March this year, following a decision by the EC Standing Committee on Additives in Feedingstuffs to extend its authorisation.
