HC Deb 26 April 1983 vol 41 cc314-6W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that existing legislation is adequate to prevent improper trading in unfit meat and offal.

Mrs. Fenner

I am satisfied that the controls on unfit meat in England and Wales have been adequately strengthened with the introduction of the Meat (Sterilisation and Staining) Regulations 1982. Similar legislation is being prepared to apply in Scotland.
