HC Deb 16 April 1996 vol 275 c466W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what measures are in place to prevent the export of beef and beef products from the United Kingdom to countries other than those in the EU. [24378]

Mrs. Browning

Following notification of EU decision 96/239, we have ceased to issue export health certificates for products covered by the decision. The Customs and Excise (Management) Act 1979 enables Customs to detain goods presented for export which are subject to the decision.
