§ 89. Mr. Grimondasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will inquire into the possibility of providing mobile abattoirs for the purpose of slaughtering uninfected animals on farms with foot-and-mouth disease.
§ Mr. SoamesNo salvage of carcases is permitted on infected farms. Since apparently healthy contacts may well be infected and so cause the disease to spread, they are destroyed in the same way as infected animals. The question of mobile abattoirs to dress the carcases does not therefore arise.
