§ Mr. AmessTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the proposals contained in the Reform of Quarantine Regulations Bill. [25264]
§ Mr. RookerThe proposal contained in the Reform of Quarantine Regulations Bill is similar to one of the alternatives to quarantine currently being assessed by the Advisory Group on Quarantine under the chairmanship of Professor Kennedy. It would be premature to alter the present system until Professor Kennedy has reported on whether alternative arrangements would give equal or better protection against the importation of rabies.
