§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will consider, in future outbreaks of foot-and-mouth or swine vesicular disease, imposing a ban on the holding of major store markets outside the infected area until all movements of animals out of the area have been traced.
§ Mrs. FennerImmediately foot-and-mouth disease or swine vesicular disease is confirmed the Ministry imposes an infected area and all movements of contact animals are traced and restrictions imposed on their further movement. Movement of animals out of an infected area is prohibited. If infected or contact animals have been moved through a recent market, a controlled area may be imposed over a wider area if this will facilitate the tracing of contact animals. Store markets are prohibited in a controlled area.
