§ Mr. Lawrenceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the work done at Shardlow Hall agriculture laboratory compares with that of other Agriculture Development Advisory Service laboratories in England and Wales in each of the past three years.
§ Mrs. FennerThe types of work undertaken at Shardlow Hall are similar to those undertaken at the other ADAS regional centres and subcentres in England and Wales, but are not comparable with the work undertaken by the central science laboratories or veterinary laboratories.
§ Mr. Lawrenceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which will be the nearest laboratory, following the proposed closure of Shardlow Hall Agriculture Development Advisory Service laboratory, to which farmers in the Burton constituency may go for a milk test.
§ Mrs. FennerAfter closure of the ADAS laboratory at Shardlow Hall, the nearest laboratory to Burton providing similar services will be at Wolverhampton.
