I have had several discussions on these matters with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for North Shropshire (Mr Paterson). I have also spoken twice to the Northern Ireland Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development and I discussed these matters with the Tánaiste when I visited Dublin on 11 February.
The Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office, my hon. Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mike Penning), discussed the same issues with the Northern Ireland Minister for Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Belfast on 13 February.
Following my second discussion with the DARD Minister I issued a press statement expressing my confidence in the Northern Ireland Beef and Lamb Farm Quality Assurance Scheme and the reassurance it gives to consumers who purchase meat with the Farm Quality Assured logo that it is wholesome, safe and free from unnatural substances.
