asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will give a breakdown of the cost of the TB and brucellosis eradication programme for each year from 1979 up to and including 1985.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 9 and 17 together. As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose to circulate it in the Official Report.
