HC Deb 29 November 1968 vol 774 cc195-6W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will now take steps to ban the import of meat from countries where foot-and-mouth disease is endemic.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

My predecessor informed the House on 4th March, 1968 that the Government proposes to review the whole of our foot-and-mouth disease policy, including the present import arrangements, after the Northumberland Committee has reported. I cannot therefore anticipate this review.
