It was publicly announced in mid-2019 that there would be an orderly wind- down of the sector. I am interested in the correspondence between the department and the farms in relation to this. I am also interested in correspondence in relation to more recent concerns (in the last six weeks) about Covid-19 mutation at mink farms and the decision to cull all mink. I am interested in any back and forth between the department and the three farms with regards to these two matters, and to see if they have made representations to the Department.
