§ Mr. Blakerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food from what organisations he has received representations against the abolition of bull licensing, and from what organisations representations in favour; and what replies he has sent.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartMy right hon. Friend has received representations, either as part of the consultations that have been held or separately, from a large number of organisations and individuals. Many favour the retention of the present 239W licensing system with little or no change; some favour its complete abolition; some favour its retention with radical changes, such as allowing the use of cross-bred bulls. All have been told that their views will be taken into account in the review which is at present being made.
