HC Deb 03 April 2000 vol 347 c305W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will set out the prescribed welfare standards which govern imported food products supplied to HM forces. [112967]

Dr. Moonie

[pursuant to his reply, 6 March 2000, c. 498W]: I regret the answer given was incorrect in referring to an "EC Meat Commission". In the case of meat sourced in EC countries quality standards are based upon the EC Meat Classification Scheme as operated in the UK by the Meat and Livestock Commission and set down in The Meat Buyers Guide.
