HC Deb 24 November 1965 vol 721 c71W
Mr. Hawkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he has taken, following the representations made to him by the hon. Member for South-West Norfolk, to investigate the causes of anthrax outbreaks in this country and reduce their number.

Mr. John Mackie

Circumstantial evidence indicates contaminated feeding-stuffs as a source of anthrax. We are discussing with the industry the complex problems which have to be solved before any decision on further control can be made.
