HC Deb 03 May 1984 vol 59 cc190-1W
24. Sir William van Straubenzee

asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether in the light of the experience of tourist traffic at Easter, he plans additional measures to prevent the importation of rabies from France.

Mr. MacGregor

We have again initiated a rabies awareness campaign this year to remind the travelling public of the risks and dangers. A feature of the campaign was its launch on a Sealink ferry from Dover to Calais when we reiterated the dangers of smuggling animals into this country and the need for public vigilance.
