asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give details of those parishes to be deleted from the list of parishes with a recent history of cattleherds with tuberculosis breakdowns of badger origin.

A full review has been carried out and my right hon. Friends the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State for Wales have agreed that the revisions below should be made to reflect the position at 1 January this year.

In the past, badger control operations in these parishes have proceeded automatically. In future, badger control operations may be undertaken in these parishes only by my Department after reference to the consultative panel on badgers and tuberculosis.No parishes have been added to the list.A full list of the problem parishes, taking account of the above deletions, is being made available in the Library of each House.
