Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 February 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Horsemeat.

The hon. Lady mentioned the upsurge in trade in local butchers over the past week. Some 30% of butchers across the whole United Kingdom had an increase in usage over the past weekend. Does she think that the traceability that is currently present within the whole United Kingdom—England, Wales, Scotland and, in particular, Northern Ireland—should be the key factor in our being able to have good products on the butchers’ shelves and in the supermarkets every week?
