To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when his Department was first notified of imports of sub-standard beef arriving at Mid Cornwall Meatpackers.

Mr. Donald Thompson

On 24 November, Carrick district council's environmental health service sent a report to the Ministry's office at Truro. As soon as this was received, further details were requested in order that the matter could be raised with the authorities of the Republic of Ireland. These details were received on 19 December 1988.
