§ Sir J. Fosterasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what compensation will be awarded to dairy farmers whose herds have been destroyed and who have large stocks of perishable feedingstuffs such as swedes.
§ Mr. Peart:I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Chester on 8th December. Dairy farmers will receive compensation for their livestock which are slaughtered and for such feedingstuffs as are compulsorily destroyed on account of foot-and-mouth disease.—[Vol. 755, c.419–20.]
