HL Deb 10 May 1989 vol 507 c744WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When tuberculosis in farmed deer will become a notifiable disease, and when a policy of slaughter and compensation will be instituted.

Baroness Trumpington

Tuberculosis in deer will be made notifiable from early June 1989. As far as slaughter with compensation is concerned, I have nothing to add to my reply of 4th April to my noble friend Lord Dulverton.
