HC Deb 07 December 1993 vol 234 c177W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many representations he has received on the subject of cattle tagging; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

A consultation letter setting out the details of the Government's proposals for implementing the EC directive on animal identification and registration was issued earlier this year. A number of responses have been received on issues raised in the consultation exercise, including cattle tagging, and these are being considered at the moment.
