HC Deb 05 December 1960 vol 631 c117W
80. Mr. Kimball

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will try and improve the present arrangements for publishing up-to-date information about the outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease.

Mr. Soames

As my hon. Friend was promised on 29th November, the arrangements for disseminating information about outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease have been examined. While I shall certainly not relax our efforts to achieve maximum publicity, I do not think we could justifiably ask more of the radio and television authorities, and of the Press. I am most grateful for the valuable help they have given us.
