HC Deb 16 May 1984 vol 60 c202W
Mrs. Ann Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what recent cases have been brought to his attention of animals suffering as a result of being given unsuitable foodstuffs because ingredients were not known by the farmer concerned;

(2) what representations he has received recently concerning the compulsory labelling of the ingredients of animal foodstuffs;

(3) whether he has any plans to introduce measures to make the labelling of animal foodstuffs with their ingredients compulsory.

Mrs. Fenner

We have no plans at present to make full ingredient listing a compulsory requirement of the statutory statement on feeding stuffs. I have received no recent representations on this matter, nor am I aware of any complaints from farmers.
