§ 25. Mr. Bill Walkerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that there is no undue risk in importing poultry, meat and eggs from other European Community countries and that Newcastle disease can be fully controlled.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI am satisfied that the import rules which I announced in October last, details of which were placed in the Library of the House, provide adequate safeguards to minimise the risk of introducing the disease into Great Britain. Under these arrangements imports are permitted from France, the Netherlands and Belgium.
