HC Deb 18 May 1989 vol 153 c299W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what provisions exist for the inspection of imported meat products which originate outside the European Economic Community; and what is his estimate of the percentage of such imports which are so inspected.

Mr. Donald Thompson

Port health authorities are responsible for the inspection of meat products imported from all countries under the Imported Food Regulations 1984. The authorities are diligent in ensuring that all consignments have the proper health certification and are inspected.
