§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what programmes his Ministry has to reduce the occurrence of salmonella in sheep. [17023]
§ Mrs. BrowningThere are no formal programmes to reduce the occurrence of salmonella in sheep which remains relatively low. However, all isolations have to be reported to a veterinary officer of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food who, on the basis of the 849W information received, will decide the need for further action or advice.
