Conduct of Government and Opposition Agriculture Spokesmen over BSE

That this House expresses its dismay at the mischievous way in which Labour's shadow agriculture spokesman has misrepresented the situation over BSE regardless of the implications for the future of British agriculture, whilst at the same time expressing concern at the failure of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to conduct himself in a way which builds consumer confidence in the British beef industry; and calls for action to ensure the removal and destruction of all cow heads and clear licensing and labelling of foodstuffs.
