§ 20. Harry CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will ease the restrictions upon llama trekking businesses. [46530]
§ Alun MichaelA licensing scheme for llama trekking was introduced on 28 March 2002 which allows treks to take place, while minimising the risk of disease spread. Controls are needed over this activity, as llamas are susceptible to foot and mouth disease and could become infected or could infect other susceptible livestock by crossing grazing land.
