Mr. Luff

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer of 15 June 1998,Official Report, column 28, if he will make it his policy to encourage beef from animals born, raised and slaughtered in the United Kingdom and sold in the United Kingdom to be prominently and clearly labelled as British. [46463]

Mr. Rooker

Yes, but the Government cannot insist that all such beef is so labelled because the EU Scheme is a voluntary one.
