HC Deb 29 March 1887 vol 312 c1781
MR. H. GARDNER (Essex, Saffron Walden)

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, "Whether the Government will take steps to draw the attention of farmers to the success in France of M. Pasteur's system of inoculation as a preventive against anthrax, and otherwise encourage its adoption generally in this country?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY (Lord JOHN MANNERS) (Leicestershire, E.)

Experiments in inoculation with the virus of anthrax and other diseases are being carried on; but, up to the present, the results are not so satisfactory as to justify any recommendations as to its general adoption in this country.
