HC Deb 08 June 1893 vol 13 c533
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can give any further information relative to the outbreak of pleuro-pneumonia at Hendon?

MR. H. GARDNER

We thought it desirable to slaughter certain cattle belonging to the same owner, but stationed on other premises in his occupation, and amongst these another diseased animal has been found. Inquiries as to the history of the diseased animals are still proceeding, but no information has yet been obtained as to the original source of infection.
