Mr. Richard Wainwright
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to ensure that all once-grown seed is submitted to the Agriculture Development Advisory Service for testing.
Mr. Strang
This question is presumably related to the service offered by ADAS plant pathologists whereby seed potato samples can be submitted by farmers and growers for testing for the existence of virus.This voluntary scheme is given wide publicity to encourage its use, for example through ADAS divisional bulletins, the Telephone Information Service, and general Press articles.
