MR. TURNORsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether any steps have been taken to procure a Report by a competent Veterinary Surgeon on the Cattle Plague in Roumania, in accordance with a suggestion made by Her Majesty's Consul at Jassy in a Despatch dated January 1st, 1869?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, the Despatch referred to by the hon. Member was duly considered by his noble Friend the President of the Council; and, after having fully weighed the matter and the other information the Government possessed on the subject, he did not think it was a case in respect to which the Treasury should be asked to go to the expense of procuring a Report.
