HC Deb 17 December 1953 vol 522 c99W
Mr. Baldock

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that adequate precautions will be taken to ensure that there is no risk of foot-and-mouth disease infection being introduced by the Danish pork pigs which are to be imported.

Sir T. Dugdale

The proposal is to import from Denmark a limited quantity of frozen pork. I am satisfied that the safeguards imposed will reduce the risk of the introduction of infection to negligible proportions.
