HC Deb 18 October 1991 vol 196 cc290-1W
Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the results of his investigations into the presence of enzootic bovine leucosis in Great Britain.

Mr. Gummer

An investigation of milk samples from over 15,000 dairy herds and of blood samples from over 600 beef herds confirms the belief that the prevalence of this disease, which has no implication for human health, is very low.
