HC Deb 08 November 1967 vol 753 cc125-6W
83. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the total value of livestock exports lost during 1966 and 1967, respectively, as a result of the failure to eradicate brucellosis.

Mr. Peart

Difficulties in export have arisen from the requirements of importing countries, but I cannot estimate what exports might otherwise have taken place. The Brucellosis (Accredited Herds) Scheme is an essential step towards removing the difficulties.
