HC Deb 27 April 1989 vol 151 c678W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make herpes in horses and any other animals a notifiable disease; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Donald Thompson

The herpes family of viruses causes a number of diseases. Aujeszky's disease, which is notifiable in pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, deer, horses, dogs and cats, is one of them. I have no plans to make any other a notifiable disease.
