A reply on this matter has now issued to the Deputy. Under the scrapie programme the flock in question was restricted on 12 January 2005. Following receipt of the genotype results, the tagging arrangements employed were in accordance with the tagging regime used for all positive flocks. The colour-coded tags used, green, blue and orange, are designed to assist with flock management by providing a visual guide to identify sheep in the various genotype categories.
