§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the restricted areas in England and Wales where there are still controls in force on the movement of livestock, due to the fall-out effects of the Chernobyl disaster; and how long these will remain.
§ Mr. MacleanSome reductions in the size of the post-Chernobyl restricted areas in England and Wales were made on Monday 14 January 1991. Details of the areas still under restriction, in parts of Cumbria, Clwyd, Gwynedd and Powys, can be found in the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) (England) Order 1991 and the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) (Wales) Order 1991. The situation will be reviewed again at the end of the 1991 marketing season with a view to releasing further areas from controls as soon as it is possible to do so without compromising the continuing safety of the food chain.
