Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what evidence he has of porpoises, dolphins and other cetaceans being infected by the North Sea seal virus or related viruses in United Kingdom coastal waters.

At the present time we have no evidence linking porpoises, dolphins or other cetaceans found in the waters off the Welsh coastline to either the North sea seal virus or related viruses.
