HC Deb 29 March 1892 vol 3 cc153-4
MR. H. T. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can now see his way to rescind or to relax the orders with respect to the moving and selling of sheep and oxen in the County of Kent?

MR. CHAPLIN

I regret to say that an outbreak of foot-and-mouth-disease occurred on Saturday last, the 26th inst., at Pheasant's Farm, Milton, near Sittingbourne, with which locality the hon. Member is well acquainted. Another occurred at Neats Court, Minster, yesterday which was reported to us this morning. Under these circumstances, I do not see my way to make any further relaxation of the existing orders at present.
