HC Deb 05 December 2001 vol 376 cc402-5W
Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many(a) full-time and (b) part-time staff from her Department have been assigned to deal with tuberculosis in cattle in each of the last 12 months. [19800]

Mr. Morley

Figures are not available in the format requested. However, various figures are available which show the staff input into the TB programme. These are shown in the tables.

In order to make a reasonable comparison, the figures have been recalculated as number of staff days worked on TB each month.
