HC Deb 15 June 1966 vol 729 c280W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has had regarding the introduction of a brucellosis eradication scheme in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

I have received representations urging the introduction of an eradication scheme from the British Veterinary Association, the National Farmers' Union of Scotland and the National Cattle Breeders' Association. As the hon. Gentleman knows, there is to be an adjournment debate on this subject today, to which my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food will be replying.
