Animals and Plants: Disease Control
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much was spent in each of the past ten years on biosecurity in England in relation to (1) animal health, (2) bee health, (3) fish health, (4) invasive non-native species, (5) plant health, and (6) tree health, broken down by (a) policy functions, (b) inspectorate functions, (c) technical support functions, (d) response and control functions, and (e) research.
- Answer
-
Data on all these matters are not held centrally. Collation of this information would involve finance teams across five different organisations (Defra, APHA, Environment Agency, Fera and the Forestry Commission) analysing, collating and reconciling ten years of financial data stored in different formats and IT platforms. As a result, we are not able to provide the information within the given timeframe.
