§ Mr. BoothTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent information about130W research into transmissible spongiform encephalopathies he has received from the spongiform encephalopathy advisory committee; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WaldegraveAs part of its continuing work to maintain an overview of research into transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, the independent spongiform encephalopathy advisory committee has produced a report which summarises what is now known about TSEs. The report provides an insight into research both completed and under way.
I am arranging for copies to be placed in the Library of the House. The report has been published by HMSO.
