HC Deb 04 July 1991 vol 194 c181W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what analysis his Department carries out on the presence of toxocara canis in soil; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Trippier

The matter of pet-borne infections is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health. My Department has not carried out any research into the presence of toxocara canis in the soil.
