BSE

HC Deb 02 March 1999 vol 326 cc721-2W

Mr. Charles Kennedy

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on reports that files on BSE controls between 1990 and 1995 are missing from his Department. [72292]

Mr. Nick Brown

All the material facts about Departmental papers have been passed to the BSE Inquiry. It would not be appropriate or fair for me to make any comment while that Inquiry is still in progress.
