MR. HUTTON (Yorks, Richmond)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, as it is nearly eight months since a case of rabies has been reported in the North Biding of Yorkshire, he can shortly withdraw the Muzzling (Babies) Order from the remainder of the riding?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTUREThe position of the North Riding in regard to rabies continues to be satisfactory, and I confidently expect to be in a position to withdraw the Muzzling Order in force in that county at a very early date.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTUREI cannot answer such a Question without looking at the map. I will communicate with my honourable Friend privately.
