HC Deb 23 March 2001 vol 365 c400W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the meetings and conferences organised by his Department and agencies of his Department which have been(a) cancelled and (b) postponed owing to foot and mouth disease; and if he will make a statement. [155370]

Mr. Paul Murphy

None of the meetings arranged by my Department were in infected areas and access was entirely by metalled roads. In these circumstances, there was no need to cancel or postpone them.

My Department has no agencies and has not arranged any conferences.
