HC Deb 24 April 1995 vol 258 cc381-2W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to encourage the use of separated sperm to reduce the number of surplus male calves; and if he will make a statement. [19817]

Mrs. Browning

Recent research has shown that the use of separated sperm is feasible but that at present it is not economic for the technique to be used for commercial insemination purposes.
