§ Mr. Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the degree of danger of spreading foot-and-mouth virus involved in the importation of milk, including UHT treated milk, from countries in which foot-and-mouth disease is endemic.
§ Mr. WigginLiquid milk can carry and spread the virus of foot-and-mouth disease unless it has been suitably heat treated. Ultra-heat treatment is fatal to the virus and no risk is involved in milk so treated.
