HC Deb 19 October 1990 vol 177 cc960-1W
Mr. Allen McKay

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will establish a common standard of description to be applied to mince products.

Mr. Curry

I have no immediate plans to introduce controls on mince. The European Commission is likely to make proposals for the quantitative declaration of characterising ingredients of foodstuffs (for example, lean meat in mince) and the possible extension to domestic production of the existing directive on minced meat.
