HC Deb 20 November 1996 vol 285 c582W
29. Sir Hector Monro

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress is being made with the BSE cull; and if he will make a statement. [3487]

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The selective cull is on hold while the new scientific evidence is considered, but of course many animals will have been slaughtered under the over-30-months scheme which would have been identified under the selective cull.
