	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2016 answer text <p>The EU has introduced controls on the production of foie gras. These controls do not ban the sale of foie gras and while the UK is a member of the EU we are subject to EU Treaty obligations in relation to the free movement of goods. Foie gras is not produced in the UK and this Government has made its views very clear that the production of foie gras using force feeding (or ‘gavage’ as it’s known in France) gives rise to serious welfare concerns. If any production were to occur, the Animal and Plant Health Agency would be asked to investigate and advise on any contravention of UK animal welfare laws.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 18/10/2016 12:26:30 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
