Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 February 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Horsemeat.

I am about to end my speech.

That is the Government’s responsibility, and I was shocked by the Secretary of State’s complacency when he answered questions earlier. He is being very slow to act, but very quick to abdicate all responsibility and say that this is a matter for the Food Standards Agency. That is just not good enough. It is the Government’s responsibility to ensure that people have trust in the food that they eat.
