DR. CAMERONasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is true that two outbreaks of cattle plague occurred among the oxen sent from India for the use of the troops in 810 Egypt; whether in one of these outbreaks the affected animals, instead of being destroyed and buried, were simply driven forth to die; and, whether the result was that the road to Kassassin having been thus infected, cattle for the use of the troops were subsequently obliged to be sent up by train?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSAs the Indian Contingent was placed under the control of the Commander-in-Chief immediately on its arrival in Egypt, the Reports of the Veterinary Department have been made to the War Office and not to the India Office.
