Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on his recent actions taken in connection with the rules and regulations regarding the import of animals and rabies resulting there from.

Mr. Peter Mills

I have nothing to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend to my hon. Friend the Member for Weston-super-Mare (Mr. Wiggin) on 29th March announcing further decisions, following recommendations of the Committee of Inquiry on Rabies, on the control of imported dogs and cats. My Department's officials are now in consultation with representatives of quarantine kennel owners on the detailed implementation of these decisions.—[Vol. 834, c.103–4.]
