House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 2 Feb 2004 (pt 3)

Badgers

Mr. Paterson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pursuant to her answer of 10 December 2003, Official Report, column 522W, on badgers, whether the reference to the gassing of badgers being considered to be inhumane refers only to the use of hydrogen cyanide gas; and what gases are available for use for the slaughter of subterranean animals which have properties that do not engender distress in those animals. [150568]

Mr. Bradshaw: In his 1980 report, "Badgers, Cattle and Tuberculosis", Lord Zuckerman considered gassing as a method of capture. Having consulted the Government Chemical Defence Establishment at Porton Down, he recorded that:

"the only likely chemical alternatives to cyanide are carbon monoxide and nerve gases. The latter, however, are too dangerous to handle, and the former is, weight for weight, significantly less toxic than cyanide, and therefore likely to prove less effective than cyanide in practice."

He recommended that work be carried out to devise improvements in gassing procedures and this work concentrated on hydrogen cyanide. The Krebs Report points out that the subsequent investigation:

". . . cast doubt on the humaneness of this method of killing because research showed that badgers did not die immediately underground."

The following pesticides are currently approved for the control of subterranean animals:

Cymag, containing sodium cyanide, which generates cyanide gas for rat and rabbit control; and

Luxan Talunex, and Phostoxin, both of which contain aluminium phosphide and generate phosphine gas for the control of moles, rats and rabbits.

These pesticides are approved on the basis that they are safe, effective, and do not cause unnecessary pain and suffering to the target animal.

Bottom Trawl Survey

Mr. Paterson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what (a) standard trawl speed and (b) type of trawl gear is used by her Department's survey vessels in carrying out the International Bottom Trawl Survey in the North Sea. [149121]

2 Feb 2004 : Column 621W

Mr. Bradshaw: The trawl used for scientific surveys of bottom living fish in the North Sea is the GOV trawl ('Grande Ouverture Verticale'). This general purpose bottom trawl has a high headline of five to six metres, and is used where the target species are a mix of commercial whitefish such as cod, haddock, whiting, pout and saithe. The net also samples shoaling or pelagic species including herring and mackerel. Design, specification and operation of the GOV trawl are all agreed internationally and co-ordinated by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The standard towing speed is four knots over the sea bed.

Mr. Paterson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether the survey vessels employed in carrying out the International Bottom Trawl Survey are (a) stern trawlers and (b) side trawlers. [149122]

Mr. Bradshaw: They are stern trawlers.

Mr. Paterson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether the gear used by survey vessels carrying out the International Bottom Trawl Survey in the North Sea differs from the gear used by commercial trawlers in the same area. [149123]

Mr. Bradshaw: Yes. Commercial gear is rigged by individual skippers to suit local conditions and to maximise the catch of target species. It is regularly modified to follow the changes in the technical conservation legislation, and is frequently adjusted to improve catchability. Survey gear is chosen to fish both a wide range of species and a wide range of sizes including juvenile fish. It is maintained and operated to an internationally agreed specification without modification over time, so that the results of different national surveys can be combined. True comparisons can thus be made from year to year unaffected by technical changes.

Bovine TB

Mr. Paterson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many cattle were slaughtered on average each year during (a) 1976 to 1982, (b) 1982 to 1988, (c) 1988 to 1997 and (d) 2003

2 Feb 2004 : Column 622W

because of TB, including reactors, dangerous contacts and IRs; and what percentage this represented of the national herd in each case. [150589]

Mr. Bradshaw: The data requested up to and including 1997 are provided in the table:

Period Average number of GB cattle slaughtered per year⁽⁴⁾ Percentage of GB national herd

1976–82 955 0.01

1982–88 786 0.01

1988–97 2,215 0.02

Period	Average number of GB cattle slaughtered per year⁽⁴⁾	Percentage of GB national herd
1976–82	955	0.01
1982–88	786	0.01
1988–97	2,215	0.02

⁽⁴⁾ TB reactors plus contacts.

Source:

Animal Health—Report of the Chief Veterinary Officer 1976–97.

Provisional data indicate that 21,632 cattle ¹ were slaughtered in Great Britain between 1 January and 30 November 2003. This equates to 0.24 per cent. of the national herd.

¹ TB reactors plus contacts. Provisional data downloaded from the State Veterinary Service database on 22 December 2003. Subject to change as more data become available.

EU Legislation

Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the EU legislation her Department has had responsibility for implementing since its inception; and what the (a) EU deadline for implementation and (b) date of final United Kingdom implementation were in each case. [148595]

Alun Michael: The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs plays a leading role in the UK's EU policy on the environment, agriculture, fisheries, animal and plant health. Between 8 June 2001 and 31 December 2003, 89 EU Directives, for which Defra has responsibility for implementation, were adopted.

The table lists the directives adopted together with:

(a) the EU deadline for transposition into domestic legislation.

(b) where, appropriate, the final United Kingdom transposition date.

Details of all Directives in force can be found on the Eur-Lex database available on the European Union's website.
