Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg is criticised after calling for the meat to be allowed into the UK.
By Paul Barltrop & Nathan HeathFarmers say it is "unbelievable" their MP is calling for hormone-injected beef to be allowed into the UK.
Hormone-treated beef has been banned in the UK for more than 30 years due to animal and human safety concerns."It's beneficial for consumer because it decreases price, it's beneficial for the producer, it increases productivity and efficiency," he added. One, Andrew Wear, said: "It's worrying, really. He lives in a beautiful area, surely he should have some forethought on what he is saying to reflect what his constituents are trying to achieve.
"We want cheap food in the UK... but we don't want it in jeopardy to the environment, to the livestock or to the consumer who's eating that food."
