HC Deb 22 February 2000 vol 344 cc972-3W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what European Commission measures would regulate any bans on the sale of beef on the bone. [107238]

Mr. Nick Brown

[holding answer 27 January 2000]: In the light of public protection measures already taken in the UK and the professional advice available to government, we see no case for the re-introduction of such a ban by European Commission measures.
