HC Deb 23 January 1989 vol 145 c429W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has any evidence that recent consignments of meat originating from Ireland which have been condemned in this country as unfit for human consumption had previously been the subject of cross-border trading between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for the purpose of fraudulently obtaining EEC export subsidies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Donald Thompson

This is a matter for the Irish authorities, and we have asked them to investigate it.
