HC Deb 29 April 1996 vol 276 c388W
16. Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what consideration he has given to the impact of the BSE problem on the Welsh food strategy. [25647]

Mr. Hague

The food strategy is concerned not only with beef but with developing the whole of the Welsh food industry, from producers to retailers. The problems faced by the beef industry will be considered during the consultation. I expect the strategy that emerges to make proposals for restoring consumer confidence in Welsh beef within the context of a general marketing strategy for all goods from Wales.
