Mr. Curry: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will assess the risk of infection by the
sudden oak death fungal pathogen Phytophthora ramorum in (a) quercus species and (b) fagus species. [95949]
Mr. Meacher: The Pest Risk Assessment for Phytophthora ramorum shows that various quercus species, including Quercus rubra (American
red oak) and Quercus ilex (Mediterranean holly oak), have been shown to be particularly susceptible to the disease. In initial
results of trials under laboratory conditions, Quercus robur (English oak) has shown less susceptibility. Fagus sylvatica (European
beech) is also classed as being susceptible to the disease. This research work is continuing. I have placed a copy of the latest
revision of the Summary Pest Risk Analysis, which is under continual review and includes the risk assessment, in the Library of the
House.
