HC Deb 02 February 1995 vol 253 c846W
Mr. Gapes

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what measures are being taken by his Department to support research into and curb the New Zealand flatworm.

Mrs. Browning

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is funding a study to review current knowledge of the New Zealand flatworm in the British Isles, to assess its effects. The results of this research are expected this spring, and will provide a basis on which to assess what further action may be appropriate.
