HL Deb 29 July 1999 vol 604 cc227-8WA
Lord Hoyle

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What response they have received to the submission on recommendation 69 on tuberculosis and badgers which they made to the standing committee to the Bern Convention. [HL3912]

Lord Donoughue

Following submission of the document in April, the UK Government have responded to a number of subsequent questions from the Secretariat to the Bern Convention and have supplied additional technical information. At the request of the secretariat, the information has been consolidated into a single document, which has been forwarded to the secretariat and is now being sent to delegates of the standing committee. A copy of this latest document, which supersedes the earlier one, has been placed in the Library of the House.
