Mr. Bercow: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what meetings he has held with pig farmers' representatives in
the last month to discuss the state of the industry. [142359]
Mr. Nick Brown: My ministerial team and I have between us held or attended seven meetings involving pig farmers or their
representatives since the beginning of November. Principal among the topics discussed have been: the pig industry restructuring
scheme, which has now received full EU Commission approval and is open to both outgoers and ongoers; and the recent outbreak of
classical swine fever in East Anglia, where I am pleased to say the final area movement restrictions affecting commercial pig
operations were lifted this week. Producers will also have been heartened by the ending of the export ban on live pigs from Norfolk
and Suffolk at midnight last night. I am sure the House will want to join with me in paying tribute to Jim Scudamore, the chief
veterinary officer, his staff and the state veterinary service and their administrative colleagues for their sterling efforts in
controlling the disease, for representing the national interest so effectively at EU and wider international level, and for
responding so swiftly to the many practical problems which the outbreak created.

Mr. Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) if he will make a statement on the procedures used in the peritonitis
experiments conducted on pigs at Porton Down; if the pigs were anaesthetised; and what measures were taken to protect the pigs'
welfare; [142130]
(2) if he will publish the cost/benefit analysis applied to the peritonitis experiments conducted on pigs at Porton Down; and if he
will make a statement. [142129]
Dr. Moonie: [holding answer 13 December 2000]: No formal financial cost/benefit analysis has been applied to the work involving pigs
to study the potential benefit of treatment with pentoxifylline following septic shock initiated by haemorrhage and peritonitis at
the Chemical and Biological Defence Sector of Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) at Porton Down. However, balancing
`cost' to the animal and the likely scientific benefits to mankind is a pivotal consideration.
This research was part of an ongoing programme to improve the treatment of military casualties injured by weapons. Haemorrhage was
induced by the withdrawal of 40 per cent. of the blood volume and peritonitis by the placement of known quantities of bacteria on a
small quantity of sterile faeces within the abdomen. The animals were then resuscitated (blood volume increased) with intravenous
fluids, and pentoxifylline was administered.
The pigs were anaesthetised throughout all procedures and never allowed to regain consciousness. The anaesthetised pigs were
monitored for 24 hours and those still alive at the end of this period were culled while still under anaesthesia. As a standard
veterinary practice prior to anaesthesia, the pigs were allowed access to water but denied access to food for 12 hours. All of these
procedures were carefully monitored by a veterinary surgeon.
All work with animals undergoes an Ethical Review Process and has to demonstrate that as much as possible has been done to replace
the procedures with alternatives not using living animals, to reduce numbers of animals used in particular studies, and to refine
the procedures to minimise pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm prior to the issue of licences to undertake work. In this
particular case, reduction was achieved by minimising the numbers of animals used through focused experimental design; the work was
terminated when the specific scientific question of the effect of the drug had been answered. The results were published in
`Resuscitation', a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
All work is also undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, which is overseen by the
Home Office.

Ms Quin: [holding answer 18 December 2000]: While it may be possible for some payments under the Pig Industry Restructuring Scheme
2000--Outgoers to be made in the financial year 2000-01, we expect all payments to be completed in financial year 2001-02; at least
£20 million will be available for this purpose.

Mr. Paice: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he will lay the statutory instrument to implement the
proposed pig welfare levy; and when he expects the first payment to be made to producers affected by classical swine fever.
[142891]
Ms Quin: [holding answer 18 December 2000]: The Government have already paid out over £3.7 million under the Pig Welfare (Disposal)
Scheme to producers caught by movement controls brought in to prevent the spread of classical swine fever. As matters stand
currently, over £8.5 million will be paid to producers under this scheme. The only vehicle available to introduce a producer levy to
provide funding for an industry top-up to these Government payments is a development scheme under the 1967 Agriculture Act. The
formal consultation period on a development scheme began on 24 November and will end on 23 January 2001. If, after examining any
objections, the industry decides to ask Agriculture Ministers to proceed with a scheme, we would aim to lay the statutory instrument
before this House very quickly after receiving the request.
