HC Deb 01 August 1899 vol 75 c1046
MR. WARNER

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture, when he proposes to withdraw the muzzling order in the Lichfield Union of Staffordshire, where no case of rabies has occurred for nearly four years.

* THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. LONG,) Liverpool, West Derby

It would not be possible for me to deal with the case of the Lichfield Union apart from the remainder of the area in the Midland counties over which muzzling orders extend, but the time for the withdrawal of these orders is now rapidly approaching.
