HC Deb 05 March 2004 vol 418 c1163W
Mr. Gray

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in what circumstances the Little Red Tractor mark could be awarded to chicken produced in Thailand. [156651]

Alun Michael

The Red Tractor is a privately-owned logo which is administered by an Independent company, Assured Food Standards. The logo can be used only under licence from that company and only on food that is produced in accordance with standards laid down in an assurance scheme approved by the company, by a member of such a scheme. We understand that no chicken produced in Thailand meets these eligibility requirements.
