§ Mr. Freudasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether he is satisfied with the current provisions for identification, treatment and isolation of pigs suffering from Aujesky's disease;
(2) if he will list the number and location of cases of Aujesky's disease in the last two years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WigginThere are no official provisions for identification or isolation of pigs suffering from Aujesky's disease, but there were 16 confirmed outbreaks of the disease in pigs in 1977, nine in 1978 and eight to date in 1979. The annual number of outbreaks for the period was at about the same level as in preceding years. I have decided to make an order making this a notifiable disease.
