HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 c624W
30. Mr. Gummer

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what meetings he has had with the National Farmers Union on pseudo-rabies, Aujeszky's disease.

Mr. Wiggin

A number of intensive discussions at official level have been held on Aujeszky's disease with representatives of the National Farmers Union and other interested organisations and my noble Friend Lord Ferrers recently met the chairman of the NFU pigs committee. The aim of the meetings has been to determine an acceptable and practical policy in relation to the disease. We hope to announce the Government's decision shortly.
