MR. MOFFATTsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he can inform the House what course has been adopted by the Austrian Government for preventing the introduction of rinderpest from Hungary or Galicia into Austria?
LORD STANLEYsaid, he regretted that he was not in a position to answer the Question of the hon. Member satisfactorily. A Bill had passed the Lower House of the Austrian Legislature to prevent the introduction of the cattle plague, but he had not seen a copy of it. He had, however, written to Vienna at the request of the Privy Council Office to obtain a copy, which he hoped to receive in a few days.
