90. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to combat occurrence of the disease known as farmer's lung.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Our Department advises farmers and workers on ways of handling hay and other vegetable produce so as to avoid exposure to the spores which cause farmer's lung. Investigations into the use of mould inhibitors and the effectiveness and practicability of respirators are in progress.
