§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many dairy herds in Clwyd are subject to the use of bovine somatotropin; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerBovine somatotropin is currently under test in a limited number of field trials. Section 118 of the Medicines Act 1968 prohibits the disclosure of information supplied by applicants for product licences and test certificates. It is therefore not possible to divulge the number or the location of the herds involved in the trials.
