§ Mr. HAYDN JONESasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that great hardship is being experienced by agriculturists in consequence of the restrictions on the sale of stock under the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Order; and whether he will take immediate steps to remove such restrictions in areas where the disease has not existed, and particularly in Merioneth and the other counties of North Wales?
Sir A. BOSCAWENThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I am proposing next week to remove most of the restrictions from the area in North Wales to which my hon. Friend refers.
