§ 32. Mr. GregoryTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he intends to amend the ingredients regulations relating to poultry feedstuffs; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RyderOfficials of my Department are currently engaged on discussions in Brussels on a proposal which would require suppliers of feeding-stuffs, including mixed poultry feeds, to declare the ingredients or categories of ingredients which have been used. This would supplement the detailed information already required for such products.
In addition, further controls are to be introduced on the processing and importation of animal protein, and codes of practice are being drawn up which will cover the handling, storage and manufacture of poultry feeding-stuffs and their components.
