HC Deb 25 February 1929 vol 225 c1588W
Sir E. TURTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that Dutch potatoes have been supplied to the soldiers at Catterick Camp, Yorkshire; and whether he has satisfied himself as to the connection between this fact and the recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in the North Riding?

Mr. GUINNESS

I am informed that only locally-grown potatoes have been supplied to the troops at Catterick Camp during the last few months; the second part of the question does not therefore arise.
