§ 63. Mr. Kershawasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to make available to sheep farmers the knowledge of the Bowen technique in sheep shearing developed in New Zealand.
§ Mr. GodberI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Maidstone (Sir A. Bossom) on 25th April.
§ Mr. KershawIs my hon. Friend aware that I am not aware of the terms of that 577 reply? Is he further aware that a firm in my constituency has prepared an instructional film and is running a course in the Bowen technique all over the country this summer? If this very helpful bit of private enterprise needs any help from the Government, will he see that it gets it?
§ Mr. GodberI was not aware that my hon. Friend was not aware of the previous reply, but I assure him that the Wool Marketing Board, which is the body concerned, is doing what it can about publicity, and I am grateful to my hon. Friend for calling my attention to this matter.
