Ports: Disease Control
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent assessment he has made with Cabinet colleagues of the adequacy of trade and biosecurity controls at the ports of Cairnryan and Stranraer.
- Answer
-
Through the Port Infrastructure Fund, the UK Government has provided over £600,000 to Cairnryan and Loch Ryan to build the infrastructure needed for customs and biosecurity checks.
And while biosecurity is the responsibility of the Scottish Government, our two Governments work together to ensure that biosecurity is maintained.
