§ SIR ANDREW AGNEWI beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture if he can announce any modification in the Orders prohibiting the admission of dogs from abroad into the United Kingdom.
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. AILWYN FELLOWES, Huntingdonshire, Ramsey)If my hon. friend would communicate with me as to the particular modifications which he would suggest should be made in our Orders, I should be glad to consider them. As he is doubtless aware, those Orders do not absolutely prohibit the landing of dogs brought from abroad, but they prescribe certain conditions designed to afford a full measure of security against the reintroduction of rabies into Great Britain.
