§ Mr. Biffenasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received from the Meat and Livestock Commission and the National Farmers' Union concerning the incidence and losses caused by warble fly infestation, and what proposals have been received or are in prospect for legislation to control and eradicate warble fly.
§ Mrs. FennerDuring the past year no representations have been received from the Meat and Livestock Commission or the National Farmers' Union concerning the incidence of losses caused by warble fly infestation, and no proposals for legislation to control and eradicate the fly have been received from these bodies. This pest can be readily controlled by the use of cheap and easy-to-apply proprietary dressings and my right hon. Friend has no proposals for legislation.
