asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, as in recent years some 20 per cent. of livestock feeding stuff compounders have been able to declare ingredients at minimal extra cost, if he will seek to introduce a statutorily required declaration of ingredients.

I have recently received further representations by farmers' representatives asking for obligatory declaration of feeding stuff ingredients. I will reconsider the views of all interests concerned in consultation with them and will then reach a decision.
