HC Deb 24 February 1953 vol 511 cc210-1W
82. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture to make a statement on the fluorine poisoning of cattle on the farms in and around Stoke-on-Trent; and what he estimates is the annual loss of cattle from this cause.

Mr. Nugent

Only one case of fluorine poisoning of cattle around Stoke-on-Trent has been reported to my right hon. Friend's Department, where the farmer has lost four cattle in the last year.
