HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 c340W
79. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the outcome of his consideration of the effect of taxation on compensation paid to farmers who have suffered during the current outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.

Mr. Peart

This matter is still under discussion with the National Farmers' Union and the Inland Revenue. I hope that an announcement will be made shortly.
