§ Mr. MILLARasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the wart disease Regulations governing the importation of potatoes into Guernsey and other Channel Islands have been modified so as to permit of the importation of Scottish seed potatoes to these islands on the understanding that the distance of half a mile between the place where the potatoes, have been grown and the points where wart disease has been known to exist is now to be regarded as a sufficient safeguard against infection and whether he is prepared to modify the Regulations governing the transmission of seed potatoes from Scotland to England by applying the half-mile limit safeguard to that country as in the case of the Channel Islands?
§ Mr. BUXTONI have no information as to any such modification of the Guernsey Regulations, which, as far as I am aware, still require a one-mile limit. In any case, however, I am not prepared to consider any amendment of the present Regulations such as is suggested by the hon. Member.
