asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the countries from which imports of meat have been banned since 1st January on account of foot-and-mouth disease.

as published in the Official Report of 23rd January and 13th March last.

Subject to the reservations I made in my reply on 13th March last, a revised table showing the latest information available for February 1975 is set out below:

The import of uncooked meat from Belgium was prohibited on 12th March 1975 on account of outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in that country. This prohibition was lifted on 21st April following improvement in the disease situation there.
