§ Mr. Chichester-Clarkasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the estimated loss due to 373W Marek's Disease in 1969–70 in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. Cledwyn Hughes:Marek's disease is not notifiable, and records of losses due to the disease are not kept by my Department. It is, however, estimated that the financial loss to the industry in Great Britain may amount to about £10 million a year. A similar estimate is not available for Northern Ireland.
