To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs with reference to the answer of 14 July 2009, Official Report, column 232W, on rats: Greater London, whether his Department holds a copy of the completed survey report for the period up to 2006. (317603)

The next report covering the period up to 2006 will be available soon. It has taken longer than anticipated to ensure comparability of analyses between years for the rodent data from the English House Condition Survey. This has delayed report publication beyond the previously indicated target of 2009.
