HC Deb 26 November 1957 vol 578 c110W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Postmaster-General if he will request the British Broadcasting Corporation to announce outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease during the market report at 6.25 a.m., mentioning the names of any markets which have been closed as a result, so that farmers in the affected areas can avoid moving stock off their farms into disease-affected districts.

Mr. K. Thompson

No. The position remains as described in the Answer my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food gave on this subject on 2nd August, 1957.
