§ Mr. Llewellynasked the Minister of Agriculture how many attested herds and how many supervised herds are awaiting official test in each of the Welsh counties.
Mr. T. WilliamsThe following table gives the number of supervised herds awaiting official test in each county in Wales on 30th September, 1950, the latest date for which reliable figures are available.
Number of herds awaiting official test on 30th September, 1950 Anglesey … … … 94 Brecon … … … 15 Caernarvon … … … 107 Cardigan … … … 33 Carmarthen … … … 60 Denbigh … … … 61 Flint … … … 16 Glamorgan … … … 16 Merioneth … … … 30 Monmouth … … … 11 Montgomery … … … 57 Pembroke … … … 23 Radnor … … … 5 TOTAL … 528 These numbers include herds which, although awaiting official test on 30th September, 1950, were not due for test by that date. I regret that similar figures are not available for attested herds, but, in general, there is no delay in carrying out tests of attested herds when they become due.
