§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what regulations govern the inclusion of cement dust in animal feedstuffs. [27342]
§ Mrs. BrowningI have been asked to reply.
200WThere are no regulations controlling the specific use of cement dust in animal feedingstuffs. However, under the Agriculture Act 1970, it is an offence to sell, or have in possession with a view to sale, any material which is deleterious to animals or, through the consumption of animal products, deleterious to human beings. The Feeding Stuffs Regulations 1995, made under part IV of the 1970 Act, contain detailed provisions including controls on contaminants to feedingstuffs.
