§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will take the necessary action to ensure that offal, infected or potentially infected by BSE, is not exported from the United Kingdom to other countries, especially developing ones.
§ Baroness TrumpingtonI understand that no specified bovine offals nor animal protein derived from it is being exported from the UK for use as animal feed. The export of such material to other EC member states is already prohibited. We are pursuing the possibility of introducing legislation to prohibit the export of specified bovine offals to third countries.
