HC Deb 19 December 1997 vol 303 c374W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the development by Enfer Scientific of a test for BSE antibodies in tissue samples taken from dead animals. [21845]

Mr. Rooker

We have asked this company if they would provide us with sufficient technical information to enable us to assess the test, but they have so far declined to do so. We continue to be in contact with them and hope that they will feel able to provide us with the necessary information in future.
