HC Deb 17 July 1961 vol 644 c97W
Mr. P. Browne

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will use his power under the Diseases of Animals Act, 1950, to ensure proper signposting at the approaches to a foot-and-mouth infected area.

Mr. Soames

Local authorities undertake the signposting of foot-and-mouth disease infected areas by arrangement with my Department. My information is that, in general, these arrangements work well and that roads are effectively signposted hut, if my hon. Friend has any particular difficulty in mind, I would be glad if he would let me know.
