I will stick to questions then. This side of the House is agreed that public health is of prime concern in this case and that the producers need to be looked after too. Is there any evidence that the oil used in the drying process came from across the Border? I am aware of plants that dry wheat being offered inferior quality oil from the UK. I hope this practice is stopped by the Minister. Was it part of the EU audit's remit to assess the drying process and the fuel tanks storing the oil? What are the plans for the disposal of all of this pork product?
