HC Deb 14 January 1999 vol 323 c292W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to publish the research carried out by his Department's laboratories into levels of trace elements in the livers of badgers. [64980]

Mr. Rooker

The relatively small number of badger livers (343) analysed in this limited study do not yield results sufficiently robust to be of interest to a scientific journal. The results will, therefore, not be published. They are being written up and will be made available on request. I shall place a copy in the Library.
