HC Deb 19 June 1894 vol 25 cc1468-9
MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)

Is the right hon. Gentleman able to say if the reports of fresh outbreaks of pleuro-pncumonia in Kent are inaccurate?

MR. H. GARDNER

Yes; I can set my hon. Friend's mind at rest on that point. There has only been one outbreak in the country, and the various animals recently slaughtered are those which have been traced as having been in contact with the cattle originally diseased.

MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

How about the Woodchurch case?

MR. H. GARDNER

There has been no outbreak at Woodchurch. Only one outbreak has occurred in Kent.
