§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he is expecting to announce guidelines on the use of the tenderising agent papain in administration to cattle.
§ Mr. CurryI intend to include guidance on the handling of cattle injected with papain in a code of practice on the welfare of livestock at slaughter. I propose to issue the code under new enabling powers which it is proposed to take in primary legislation when parliamentary time permits.
