HC Deb 18 November 1974 vol 881 c311W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to secure harmony with the European Economic Community food additive regulations so that trade in eggs between member States will be on an equal footing.

Mr. Strang

We have proposed the inclusion, in Directive 70/524 on additives in animal feeding stuffs, of provision for arsenical additives to be used in poultry and pig feed. Our proposal is to be considered at a meeting of experts from the EEC countries on 12th December.
