§ Mr. CorbettTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will outlaw the sale of live poultry door-to-door for slaughter and consumption. [7124]
§ Mr. Morley[holding answer 8 July 1997]: It would be difficult to outlaw this trade without affecting other, legitimate trade. Meat produced in accordance with special religious and cultural requirements is available from regulated outlets, so there is no need for customers to turn to this door-to-door trade. We shall be taking steps to spread awareness of this.
