HC Deb 28 March 1899 vol 69 c640
MR. LAFONE (Southwark, Bermondsey)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture if he can see his way to withdraw the muzzling order now in force in Middlesex, as there has not been any case of rabies during the past six months, and in the neighbouring counties of Surrey and Bucks the dogs are unmuzzled and pass freely from one county to another?

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

I am afraid I can add nothing as yet to the reply which I gave to Mr. Ambrose on this subject earlier in the month, but my honourable Friend may be sure that the matter will be kept in view.
