HL Deb 13 July 1999 vol 604 c20WA
Lord Willoughby de Broke

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether Official Veterinary Surgeons who themselves breach hygiene rules are expected to report those breaches; to whom they should report; in what manner; and what action is taken in respect of those breaches. [HL2880]

Lord Donoughue

In the unlikely event that an Official Veterinary Surgeon (OVS) was to be in breach of meat hygiene rules, his or her Principal Official Veterinary Surgeon (POVS) acting as his or her manager would be required to take appropriate action.
