HC Deb 10 January 1995 vol 252 c45W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how Britain voted in the recent EC vote on extending the moratorium on the use of bovine somatotropin.

Mrs. Browning

The United Kingdom voted against the proposed Council decision to continue the moratorium on the marketing and use of bovine somatotropin until 31 December 1999, as this proposal was without scientific justification. The decision was, however, adopted by qualified majority.
