Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Owen Paterson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 February 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Horsemeat.

I am very happy to do so. I have been restraining myself, Mr Speaker, because of your injunction to be as brief as possible. The Food Standards Agency, set up by the hon. Lady’s party when in government, has been quite clear in giving advice to all those who supply to public institutions such as prisons, schools and hospitals. As I said yesterday in my statement and will say again in a few minutes, food suppliers have the ultimate responsibility for the quality of what they sell.
