UK Ministers To Deny Lawmakers Vote On Blocking Chlorinated Chicken Imports – Newspaper

The British government will use an “obscure” rule to deny lawmakers a vote aimed at blocking imports of chlorinated chicken and hormone-fed beef, The Independent newspaper reported late on Saturday.

The move will see the ministers defeat an attempt to give powers to a new watchdog, amid suspicions that Britain’s post-Brexit trade deals, particularly with the United States, will water down food and animal welfare standards, the report added.
