14. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on progress on the new building programme at his Department's fish laboratories in Weymouth.

Tenders for the main building works were received on 23 November and are being evaluated. We expect to appoint a contractor before Christmas with a view to completing the works early in 1994.
