HC Deb 03 February 2000 vol 343 c721W
Mr. Robertson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what rules govern the importing of dead poultry into the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement. [102220]

Ms Quin

[holding answer 13 December 1999]: Poultry carcases may be imported only in accordance with a licence issued under the Importation of Animal Products and Poultry Products Order 1980. The conditions laid down in such licences are designed to protect animal health in Great Britain and vary according to the country of origin and the purposes for which the carcases are imported.
