HC Deb 02 February 1995 vol 253 c846W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) if he is in a position to ban the import into the United Kingdom of pork and pork products which are not reared in conditions permitted here;

(2) if he is in a position to ban the import into the United Kingdom of veal and veal products which are not reared in conditions permitted here.

Mrs. Browning

It is not apparent that it would be feasible to identify the production methods used for the imported goods mentioned. In any case, I am advised that selective import restrictions of the type proposed would not be compatible with Community law.
