HC Deb 21 May 1990 vol 173 cc8-9W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will consider suspending the use of certain British beef products in the House Refreshment Department; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

The Refreshment Department accepts the advice given by the independent scientists appointed by the Government and by the EC in respect of the use of British beef and beef products. It is therefore satisfied there is no need to change its policy on the supply of these items in the House.
