HC Deb 16 June 1978 vol 951 c700W
Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that there are sufficient qualified inspectors available to govern the regulations concerning the hygiene of goats in view of the increased numbers of goats and goat herds in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Strang

No inspectorate is attached to my Department for the purpose of enforcing regulations on goat hygiene. In the course of its normal work, the State Veterinary Service has regard to goats among other animals in matters of animal health and welfare. If my hon. Friend has any specific point in mind, I shall be pleased to look into it.
