Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Andy McDonald (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Horsemeat.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing the debate. Does he agree that the Government’s scrapping of the national equine database was sheer folly? We have the risk of bute entering the food chain, but, putting that to one side, any savings that may have been made by scrapping the database have been totally dwarfed by the commercial and financial damage to the food industry.
