§ Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what intervention proposals he has for young bulls aged around 12 months; what representations he has had on this matter; and if he will make a statement. [24465]
§ Mrs. BrowningThere have been several representations on this matter, as a result of which young bulls were, at our request, added to the list of animals the meat of which is currently eligible to be sold into intervention in the UK. To date, intervention tenders for more than 500 tonnes of UK young bull beef have been accepted for purchase into intervention.
