§ Mr. Wattsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement about the future of the pest infestation research laboratory in London road, Slough.
§ Mrs. Fenner[pursuant to her reply, 16 May 1986, c. 595]: The efficiency scrutiny of central agricultural science service and food science laboratories (a copy of which was placed in the Library of the House of Commons in June 1985) identified the potential for improved management and the more effective use of manpower and equipment in locating all ASS laboratories on one site. The ASS Laboratory in London road, Slough is one of the laboratories involved.
My Department is presently examining possible options for relocation.
