We have received a wide range of comments from interested organisations on these proposed regulations.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he proposes to hold a meeting in the near future with the Environmental Health Officers' Association concerning the proposed Meat Export (Hygiene and Meat Inspection) Regulations.

The Environmental Health Officers' Association has not asked my right hon. Friend the Minister for such a meeting, but officials of my Department keep in close touch with the association on this and other matters.
