HC Deb 14 November 1973 vol 864 c161W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent swine vesicular disease has been transmitted to humans.

Mr. Alison

There is no evidence of illness due to swine vesicular disease occurring among staff working on outbreaks among pigs in the field. I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science gave to his other Question on this subject today.
