THE chairman of one of three Government inquiries into the foot-and-mouth crisis returns to the region next month.
Dr Iain Anderson, who heads the Lessons Learned investigation, will visit Skipton Auction Mart and Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire, next Thursday and Friday.
The Yorkshire meetings are the sixth in a series of trips around Britain to see at first-hand the areas hardest hit by the disease. His team were in Newcastle and County Durham earlier this month.
Officials said Dr Anderson's inquiry team was aiming to "seek out and receive as broad a range of views as possible, all of which will contribute to the final report giving recommendations to the Government for the handling of any future disease outbreak."
A meeting will also take place at the Wesley Methodist Chapel, Oxford Street, Harrogate, on Thursday, at 7pm.
* Euro MPs investigating the epidemic as part of the European Parliament's inquiry will visit the region on April 19 to speak to farmers who livestock was culled
