§ Mr. Biffenasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which Common Market countries are currently refusing the export of British breeding stock sheep on account of the incidence of scrapie or foot rot.
§ Mr. StrangThere is no general prohibition, but most EEC countries require some form of veterinary certification against one or both of these diseases. Since both diseases occur in Great Britain, some breeding stock offered for 331W export may well be disqualified because of the presence of these diseases in their flocks of origin.
