HC Deb 27 November 1952 vol 508 c613
44. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will take steps, through the agricultural executive committees, to encourage taking down notices prohibiting the public from agricultural land owing to foot-and-mouth disease, as soon as the ban on the movement of cattle is lifted.

Sir T. Dugdale

My veterinary staff are responsible for the removal of all notices put up by order of the Ministry. As regards notices put up by farmers, I am asking local authorities and my veterinary staff, who are responsible for operating the foot-and-mouth disease regulations, to do what they can to encourage the removal of these notices when the need for them has passed.

Mr. Williams

Thank you very much.
