§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to her answer of 10 March,Official Report, column 384, if she will place in the Library copies of any report prepared by the plant health and seeds inspectorate on the effectiveness of the plant health campaign.
§ Mr. JackSome 121,000 leaflets, posters and newsletters, dealing with plant health issues have been distributed. The plant health and seeds inspectorate has not prepared a formal report on whether recipients found this material effective or not. Our inspectors gauge its effectiveness from their knowledge of the general awareness of growers and the public about plant health issues. For example, the position was reflected by the good attendance at growers' meetings to discuss the single market plant health regime.
