HC Deb 11 February 1963 vol 671 c129W
49. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what advice he has tendered to farmers concerning the protection of livestock during the severe winter weather.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

Farmers do not need general advice on how to farm in bad weather. But the Ministry's local officers, including the advisory services, have, of course, been in constant touch with county branches of the N.F.U. and with individual farmers, to advise and help them on any specific problems concerning livestock.
