HC Deb 09 March 1978 vol 945 c725W
Mr. John Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he has taken to see that figures are available in the future on the number of livestock that are burnt to death annually; and if he will publish details of the categories of such information and how it will be made available.

Dr. Summerskill

The new fire report form, introduced this year, provides specifically for the reporting of the numbers and species of livestock killed in fires attended by local authority fire brigades, and this information will be made available to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for his use.
