To ask the Scottish Executive, with regard to the Rural Affairs Committees 2nd Report, 1999: Impact of Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning on the Fisheries Sector, whether any further money was made available for research into the causes of shellfish toxicity; what funding has been made available for such research in each subsequent financial year; whether continuing funding was made available to develop monitoring and testing regimes and, if so, how much such funding has been made available in each financial year since the publication of the report, and whether any research has taken place into the alleged link between fin fish farms and outbreaks of amnesic shellfish poisoning and, if so, whether it will detail what specific research has taken place.
