§ MR. HAYDEN (for Dr. FITZGERALD,) Longford, S.I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government have altogether given up scientific experiments regarding the efficacy of inoculation as a preventive of pleuro-pneumonia; and, if so, on what grounds?
§ *MR. JACKSONThe subject-matter of this question was carefully considered by a Departmental Committee, and reported to Parliament on 10th July, 1888. The Committee, for the reasons detailed at length in that Report, did not recommend inoculation as a means of eradicating pleuropneumonia.
