HC Deb 18 May 1993 vol 225 cc135-6W
Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy were confirmed in(a) Pembrokeshire and (b) Wales in each quarter since 1989.

Mr. David Hunt

Figures for BSE are recorded on a county basis, and thus separate figures for Pembrokeshire are not produced. The numbers of confirmed cases of BSE reported in Dyfed and Wales by quarter year periods since 1989 are as follows:

Year Quarter Dyfed Wales
1990 1 154 264
1990 2 130 233
1990 3 128 236
Year Quarter Dyfed Wales
1990 4 171 350
1991 1 240 436
1991 2 261 462
1991 3 345 576
1991 4 411 761
1992 1 554 1,000
1992 2 443 768
1992 3 345 892
1992 4 518 1,013
1993 1 487 906

The figures for the first quarter of 1993 are necessarily incomplete as the basis of the statistics is confirmed cases by report in the appropriate period.
