§ 50. Mr. John Wellsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will circularise all statutory bodies whose officials have rights of entry to farm land or buildings, and advise them of the national importance of not exercising such rights except by agreement with the farmer during outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease and any similarly contagious diseases.
§ Mr. PeartMy officials have already been in touch with the statutory bodies mainly concerned. They have agreed to defer all but essential and urgent work in infected areas, and to take all reasonable precautions in controlled areas.
