[52619]

Mr. Morley

Arrangements are in hand to make the application forms for licences to move sheep and goats available in Welsh from the website of the National Assembly for Wales. We expect these documents will be available in May 2002. The other documents referred to will be available in Welsh as soon as possible.

Hywel Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she plans to make it possible to download AMLS licences in Welsh from her Department's website; and if she will make a statement. [52617]

Mr. Morley

There are no plans to make it possible to download AMLS licences in Welsh from the DEFRA website. Welsh licences contain references applicable to the animal health legislation for Wales and are not valid for movements from premises in England. However there are links from the DEFRA website to the National Assembly for Wales' website which should enable Welsh licences to be downloaded, once they are on that website.
