HC Deb 18 March 1977 vol 928 cc330-1W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress has been made by the working group he set up in 1975 to consider the sale of unsterilised bonemeal.

Mr. Moyle

Officials of my Department have had discusions with the trade associations concerned, and with other interested Government Departments, on this matter generally, and on the question whether there should be a requirement to sterlise imported bonemeal. However, this issue presents a number of difficulties and I will write to my hon. Friend.
