Nuclear Fall-Out (Protection of Animals)

HC Deb 27 October 1970 vol 805 c5W

52. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans have been made for the protection of animals from nuclear fallout.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

It is the owner's responsibility to protect his animals by bringing them under cover or, as appropriate, by removing them from contaminated pastures. Plans have been made to advise the public when such steps are necessary.
