HC Deb 31 October 1994 vol 248 c954W
Mr. Harvey

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the Government's policy concerning the application of BSE safety regulations to animals born since 1 January 1991.

Mrs. Browning

The measures currently in force in Great Britain apply to all cattle irrespective of their date of birth. No change in this position is envisaged, but the European Commission is considering whether younger cattle should be excluded from the European Union rules for trade in bone-in beef from the United Kingdom and we are pressing for urgent action on this.
