HC Deb 10 April 1972 vol 834 c124W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce legislation to make it an offence to manufacture pet foods which include whale meat.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

No case for legislation has been established, bearing in mind that two of the firms which produce a large part of the pet food manufactured in this country have indicated that they propose to cease using whale meat as soon as practicable. Two other firms which account for most of the remaining production do not use whale meat.
