HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 cc379-80W
Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to ensure that the new outbreak of rhinopneumonitis, virus abortion, in Ireland, does not spread to Great Britain.

Mr. Peter Mills

This is a common disease of horses found in most countries of the world. Thoroughbred breeders take their own precautions and no official action is considered necessary.
