HC Deb 26 June 1990 vol 175 c200W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what has been the impact upon the spread of bee diseases of the decision to reduce the numbers and scope of bee inspectors.

Mr. Curry

There is no evidence to suggest that the change in policy for inspections by bees officers had led to any change in the incidence of bee diseases in the United Kingdom.
