§ 50. Major CARVERasked the Minister of Agriculture if there have been any new outbreaks of fowl cholera, and, if so, where; whether the source of the disease has been traced; and what steps are being taken to prevent further importations of live poultry from the same source?
§ Major ELLIOTSince the occurrence of the disease in Norfolk and Suffolk was brought to my notice, I have received information of two further outbreaks near Wymondham and Dim in Norfolk, and one at Chichester among poultry sent from Norfolk. The source of the disease is not yet established but inquiries are proceeding. The third part of the question does not therefore arise at the moment.
