HC Deb 26 November 1980 vol 994 c110W
Miss Fookes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will withdraw the section in the latest edition of his Department's guide "Ducks and Geese" advocating the possibility of goose pSt6 production; and if he will make a statement about the forced feeding of geese to produce the pâté".

Mr. Wiggin

The guide referred to-reference book 70—does not advocate special feeding techniques to produce pâté de foie gras. I am not aware of any producers in this country using these techniques.
