HC Deb 28 March 2003 vol 402 c478W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to expand the State Veterinary Service. [104036]

Mr. Morley

There are currently no plans to expand the State Veterinary Service (SVS). The SVS running costs budget in 2003–04 is comparable with that for the year ending 31 March 2003.
