asked Her Majesty's Government: What was the estimated tonnage of illegal meat imported into this country last year and what was the corresponding figure for 1992.
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for that reply. Can he confirm or deny that the £1 billion=worth of illegal meat entering this country annually contains human flesh?
My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that we imported foot and mouth disease into this country last year? This year, we are importing illegal meat from foreign countries. We are also putting more restrictions and regulation on farmers than ever before. Can the Minister tell us what is wrong within his department?
