HC Deb 23 July 1998 vol 316 c694W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his letter 114760 of 26 June 1998, when he expects the ACMSF to report on factors which determine the presence of salmonella contamination in or on eggs. [50645]

Mr. Rooker

It is hoped that the ACMSF Working Group will be able to begin its work shortly. No timetable is being imposed on the Group for completing its work. The ACMSF will report as quickly as possible, commensurate with the need to tackle the question thoroughly and subject to the constraints imposed by the Committee's wider work programme.
