§ Mr. Cryerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a further statement on the curtailment of ultra-heat treated milk imports into the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerImports of ultra-heat treated milk have been curtailed as a temporary measure but the Government's aim is to provide for imports from other member states subject to their satisfying the same health and hygiene requirements on which, in the interests of public health, we insist for the production and processing of our own milk. We are in touch with the Commission about these requirements, and discussions with other member states will be held shortly.
