Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Glyn Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Horsemeat.

Like many others, I think that the debate is hugely important, and with my background in the livestock industry I know what the concerns are there. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the reason the issue has come to the fore—and we are pleased that it has—is the improved testing in

Ireland, which is, essentially, where the problem arose? We should congratulate the Irish Government on raising the bar for testing. It would be encouraging if testing of that standard could happen in as many countries as possible, including ours.
