HC Deb 09 August 1901 vol 99 c283
MR. LLOYD MORGAN

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can give the date when the last known case of rabies was discovered in the county of Carmarthen, and whether he is in a position to state when the muzzling order now in force in that county is likely to be withdrawn.

*MR. HANBURY

The last known case occurred in March last, but some suspicious cases have occurred at later dates. Having regard to the long period that may elapse before the disease is developed in an infected dog, it would be undesirable to withdraw the Order at present.
