§ Mr. BerminghamTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the level of additional funding awarded to the Institute of Animal Health for research on salmonella contamination; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RyderI refer the hon. Member to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Daventry (Mr. Boswell) on 21 March at columns514–15. My Department was already spending around £700,000 in 1989–90 on research at the Institute of Animal Health on enteric diseases of poultry, including salmonella. Two new salmonella projects have now been added at a cost of £173,000 in 1989–90.
