§ Lord Willoughby de Brokeasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will make it a statutory requirement that the constituents of animal compound feeds be fully disclosed, in view of the fact that it is a criminal offence to possess or feed animal feedstuffs which contain prohibited material.
Lord LucasIt is already a statutory requirement to list ingredients of compound animal feeds either by category or in full. The Government welcome the recent announcement that the major feed compounders are to switch from declaring categories of ingredient to full ingredient listing for most compound feeds. The position is being monitored and further action will be taken if necessary.
