Question
Whether their policy of opening up activities in the countryside during the current foot and mouth outbreak, where it is safe to do so, is compatible with the policy of the British Horseracing Board set out in its letter to racecourses stating that 'Any racecourse which from this moment forward (10 am, 14 March) itself elects not to stage a forthcoming fixture will have to be seen by us as having decided not to race for the duration of the outbreak. [HL 1671].
