§ MR. FIELDTo ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he 602 will state how many cases of swine fever, traceable to Irish pigs, occurred in each particular county of England during each of the six months ending 31st January, 1906.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) The only case of swine fever in England which has been traced to Irish pigs during the six months ending 31st January last, is one of a consignment of pigs sent from Waterford to Cardiff, via Milford, in November last, which were found diseased when exposed for sale in Routh Market, Cardiff, two days later. The safeguards against the introduction of disease provided by the Swine Fever Movement from Ireland) Order of 1904 were, of course, in operation during the whole of the period.
