§ MR. PARKER SMITH (Lanark, Partick)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether, in view of the unsatisfactory results of local and partial muzzling orders for dogs, he is prepared to endeavour to stamp out rabies by issuing a general muzzling order for the whole country, to be combined with a system of quarantine upon the admission of dogs into the country?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. WALTER LONG () Liverpool, West DerbyI am afraid that I can add nothing material to my reply to the similar Question addressed to me by my hon. Friend, the Member for Plymouth, on the 13th instant. Under existing circumstances, I do not think that the issue of a muzzling order applicable to the whole of the country is either necessary or feasible.
