HC Deb 27 July 1961 vol 645 c87W
70. Mr. Hilton

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science if he is satisfied that he has sufficient staff with the necessary qualifications for research into foot-and-mouth disease at the Pirbright experimental station; and what progress has been made in research during 1961.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

The staff of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Institute is employed by the governing body of the Institute, which is grant-aided by the Agricultural Research Council. I am informed that, while the Institute is seeking to recruit additional research workers, the present staff is sufficient to make effective use of the station's facilities.
