HC Deb 10 June 1999 vol 332 c396W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to improve the labelling of animal feedstuffs that may contain genetically modified ingredients. [86131]

Mr. Nick Brown

[holding answer 8 June 1999]The Government are pressing the Commission to forward to the Council its proposed Regulation covering novel animal feeds. This is necessary to ensure fair and consistent labelling in the EU. We are exploring whether national labelling arrangements are feasible pending the introduction of EC measures.
