§ Mr. MarlowTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce measures to require all Irish meat to be stamped with the word "Irish" in a pattern and size similar to the stamping of "Danish" on bacon from Denmark.
§ Mr. Donald ThompsonNo. All meat intended for human consumption must, on entry into the United Kingdom, bear a prescribed health mark confirming compliance with our health requirements. These marks show the country and plant of origin. The stamp on Danish bacon is applied by the trade for commercial purposes.
