The Animal and Plant Health Agency has been in touch from the start with the private veterinary group investigating the syndrome. While CRGV remains rare in the UK, we are now working with this vet group to commission research to improve our understanding. Forestry England’s advice on dog health <a href="https://www.forestryengland.uk/dog-health" target="_blank">https://www.forestryengland.uk/dog-health</a> includes a link to private veterinary advice on CRGV and other organisations such as the Kennel Club also provide advice.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 27/01/2020 14:48:34 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for what reasons under 10m fishing vessels in England are being required, under new licence conditions, to report all fish caught and landed when there are de minimis exemptions for over 10m vessels.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2020 answer text <p>For paper and electronic recording for vessels over 10m in length, there is an exemption on recording fish under 50kg in the log book. However, this information is supplemented by an additional requirement for a landing declaration which provides accurate weights of all fish caught. A similar exemption was considered for under 10m vessels, however, given some stocks catch limits are very small, applying a de-minimis exemption would not be appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 13/01/2020 15:59:55 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
