§ Sir Hector MonroI refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 31 January 1995,Official Report, column 652, for the number of cases of sheep scab during the period in question.
Other ectoparasitic infections of sheep have never been notifiable in Scotland and consequently information on the number of cases of these diseases is not available.
