Meat Exports
With permission, Mr Havard, I shall answer Questions 7 and 9 together. We recently published the action plan on farming, food and drink exports. DEFRA will continue to work closely with Welsh and other stakeholders to implement that plan, especially to reduce animal health barriers to trade in beef and lamb, with regard not only to China and the USA, but to developing new markets such as in India.

Meat Exports
I entirely share the hon. Gentleman’s demand and desire for accurate country-of-origin labelling. No doubt Welsh lamb for export is properly labelled when it leaves Wales. The precise labelling in the country to which it is going will be the responsibility of that country’s Government, because they will have their own labelling regulations. I assure him that we have taken two important actions on imports into the UK. First, we have a voluntary code, to which all supermarkets, major retailers and the hospitality sector have signed up, stating that all fresh meat will be labelled with the country of origin, which means the animal’s true origin and not just where it was processed. Secondly, the food information regulations in Europe have completed their progress and will apply, certainly initially, to all fresh meat. They stipulate that all fresh meat has to advertise its country of origin, which means where the animal originated. Those are two major steps towards meeting the hon. Gentleman’s objective.

Meat Exports
I can certainly give that undertaking. I and all Ministers readily accept the challenge of creating more growth in the agricultural sector, particularly in exports, but that is not unique to agriculture. The Government believe that exports are going to drive the country’s recovery, so all our overseas embassies and UK Trade & Investment are very much charged with stimulating business abroad. When there are particular barriers, such as historical concerns about BSE, the chief vet, I and others in DEFRA will tackle them head on. Approval was given to a chain of abattoirs to export pig meat to China only last week. Although that is not the lamb to which my hon. Friend refers, it is another example of how we are making progress.

As my hon. Friend says, the Food Standards Agency has produced proposals that would lead to full cost recovery, a principle with which the Government agree. However, the magnitude of the increases for some abattoirs is extreme, and we are looking at that matter with concern because we clearly do not want abattoirs to be driven out of business.
