58. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is satisfied that farmers whose land is affected by opencast coalmining are able to obtain adequate insurance cover for their stocks.

Mr. T. Williams

I am not aware at any difficulties in obtaining adequate insurance cover, but I am making inquiries and will let the hon. and gallant Member know the results.

Major Legge-Bourke

Will the Minister consult the Lancashire branch of the National Farmers' Union?

Mr. Williams

Yes, Sir.
