§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his review of his Department's research on aphids and aphid-borne diseases.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonOur aim is to take decisions on the future of aphid trapping and monitoring 75W work in Scotland later this year after the Scottish aphid-borne virus working party has reported. I shall write to the hon. Member to inform him of these decisions in due course. Meanwhile the current level of aphid monitoring in Scotland will be maintained.
