§ Mr. Parryasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has any plans to visit grain stores on his forthcoming visit to Liverpool; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JoplingI have no plans to visit grain stores during my visit to Liverpool later this month. Restrictions have now been lifted from two of the nine stores to which they were applied. In some others, measures are being taken to meet the Ministry's criteria to enable restrictions to be lifted. In addition, the state veterinary service is monitoring the general situation at Liverpool docks on a regular basis.
