Paul Flynn: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what changes took place in the average sale prices at markets of (a) sheep and (b) cattle between February and October 2001. [223859] Alun Michael: Average sale prices at markets for (a) sheep and (b) cattle are available for part of February 2001 before the markets need to close down due to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease. No prices are available between March and October 2001, as the livestock markets remained closed until February 2002. The following tables give average sheep and cattle prices for February 2001. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
