Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what controls are in place to assess whether antimicrobial use records, medicated feed records, and veterinary treatment records, in beef export supply chains are complete, reliable, independently audited, and capable of being traced to individual animals or batches.

Countries approved to export beef to Great Britain must have Defra-approved veterinary medicine residue control plans and submit annual reports for assessment. The Food Standards Agency publishes annual reports of import sampling under the National Monitoring Programme on GOV.UK.
