HC Deb 21 April 1863 vol 170 c466
MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

said, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Privy Council. Whether he has any objection to lay upon the table of the House the Report of the Commissioner sent by Government in the course of last Autumn to the Continent to inquire into the existence of sheep and cattle contagious or infectious diseases in Foreign Countries, and into the liability of their introduction into this Country?

MR. H. A. BRUCE

said, in the absence of his light hon. Friend, he could state that the Report alluded to by the hon. Member, which was a very long one, was now under the consideration of the Department; and if it were found suitable for official publication, it would be printed in the appendix of the usual Annual Report of the Medical Officer.

MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

said, he wished to ask when that document was likely to appear?

MR. H. A. BRUCE

Very shortly; at any rate, in a few weeks.
