HC Deb 27 November 1973 vol 865 c114W
Mr. Raison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will oppose any EEC regulations preventing the sale of New York dressed poultry.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The EEC directive dealing with poultry meat is already in operation for intra-Community trade, and, unless a change is made, it will apply to all domestic poultry meat from 15th February 1976. What we are seeking to do is to obtain a postponement of this date for New York dressed poultry.
