HC Deb 13 April 1994 vol 241 c208W
Mr. Wallace

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what changes he now intends to make to the Highlands and Islands veterinary services schemes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

[holding answer 31 March 1994]We are still considering what changes should be made to this scheme. Officials from my department hope to meet representatives of the British Veterinary Association soon to take matters forward.

Mr. Wallace

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the British Veterinary Association has yet responded to any consultation guidelines regarding the Highland and Islands veterinary services schemes.

Mr. Lang

The British Veterinary Association was one of the bodies which responded to our consultation exercise in 1991. We have since had further correspondence with the BVA.
