Mr. Drew

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to reach a decision on the sale of unpasteurised milk for individual consumption; and what account he has taken of agreements relating to consumer choice in respect of unpasteurised milk. [19686]

Mr. Rooker

[holding answer 10 December 1997]: The period of public consultation ends on 3 February 1998, after which time we shall take careful stock of all the issues and propose how we wish to proceed as soon as possible thereafter.

I agree there is an issue of consumer choice, and we shall take this into account along with the other relevant issues.
