HC Deb 19 June 1863 vol 171 cc1177-8
SIR JERVOISE JERVOISE

said, he he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether any information can be given of the result of experiments as to the effect of vaccination on sheep, or any particulars of the professional services in examining sheep arriving in Irish ports, with a view of preventing the spread of small-pox among them, for which objects a Vote of £434 10s. is pro posed in Class VII., Vote 14, Miscellaneous Estimates?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, in reply, that part of the money had been expended upon experiments, and part in the inspection of sheep arriving at the ports of Ireland. The experiments had not yet been completed; but when they were, the results should be laid upon the table of the House.
