§ Mr. Masonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if all the areas infected by whirling disease have now been cleared and whirling disease eradicated; and whether he expects trout supplies for stillwater replenishments during 1983 to be whirling-disease free.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithMovement restrictions applied following outbreaks of whirling disease remain in force on 44 sites in England and Wales. At a further five sites such restrictions are no longer in operation. I expect supplies of trout free from whirling disease to be available during 1983 for stillwater replacements.
