HC Deb 16 March 1983 vol 39 c195W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress he has made in his discussions with Ministers and officials of the Republic of Ireland concerning animal health affecting the Republic and Northern Ireland.

Mr. Adam Butler

The discussions which take place on a regular basis between Northern Ireland officials and their counterparts in the Republic of Ireland on all aspects of animal health matters affecting Northern Ireland and the Republic are helpful in the maintenance of the high animal and poultry health status in both jurisdictions.
