§ Mr. Marlowasked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the rabies situation on the Continent is less stable; and what are the implications for the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. WigginIn recent months, some cases of rabies have been reported closer to the north coast of France. The Government's policy of stringent import controls, supplemented by a continuous rabies awareness campaign, is designed to cope with any such spread.
