Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps she is taking to guard against the
risk of sudden oak death in the United Kingdom. [61602]
Margaret Beckett: [holding answer 19 June 2002]:
"Phytophthora ramorum"--the causative organism of sudden oak death--is not established in the United Kingdom, but has recently been
detected on plants of viburnum and rhododendron in a targeted survey by the Plant Health and Seeds Inspectorate. Research is in
progress to establish whether the "Phytophthora ramorum" found in the United Kingdom exhibits the same pathogenicity as that causing
such serious damage in the USA and whether European tree species are susceptible to either the European or North American isolates.
This work is being carried out by the Central Science Laboratory and the Forestry Commission Research Agency.
Possible Community-wide measures are being considered and there has already been an exchange of information and some additional
survey work by member states. In the meantime, on the basis of a pest risk assessment, precautionary measures have been introduced
to prevent susceptible material being imported into the United Kingdom from affected areas of the USA and to allow plant health
inspectors to track commercial movements of host plants of any origin. Current controls on imported oak wood from the USA are also
being extended to include wood derived from all host trees originating in affected areas. Further information is available on the
Forestry Commission and DEFRA websites at http://forestry.gov.uk/planthealth and http:// defraweb/planth/ph.htm

Mr. Peter Duncan: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on steps being
taken to prevent the spread of the Colorado beetle. [57558]
Mr. Morley: The United Kingdom has protected zone status for Colorado beetle, making it an offence for the beetle to be moved into
the country. To support this the Plant Health and Seeds Inspectorate in England and Wales and the similar inspectorates in Scotland
and Northern Ireland inspect imports of plants and plant produce to ensure that the beetle, as well as many other pests and
diseases, are not present. Added to this is the long-running campaign to promote and maintain a high level of public awareness of
the beetle. This is instrumental in ensuring that members of the public, as well as importers and port operators, report findings of
the beetle. These measures have all helped to prevent the Colorado beetle entering and establishing in the UK. Should an outbreak be
detected, the Department has contingency plans to contain and eradicate the pest.

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what action the Government have taken to tackle the
varroa mite; and what estimate she has made of its prevalence in England. [42377]
Mr. Morley: The Government assist the UK beekeeping sector to deal with bee health issues, in particular varroa, through programmes
costing around £1.6 million in 2001-02. Under these measures, the National Bee Unit (NBU), part of the Central Science Laboratory,
provides a free diagnostic and inspection service to beekeepers in England as well as training and advice (including various
publications, lectures, workshops and demonstrations) to help them become more self-reliant through improved bee husbandry. Training
and guidance is regularly updated to reflect the latest research findings. The NBU also carries out routine screening for varroa
resistant to authorised treatments.
Varroa is widely distributed in England. At least 5,000 infested apiaries have been confirmed since 1992, when the mite was first
confirmed in the UK.
