§ MR. WATTTo ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state how many cows were examined in Scotland under Article 1722 3 of the Amended Order of 1899 in each of the years 1906 and 1907; how many of these were certified to be affected with, tuberculosis of the udder; and what was done with those cows so affected.
(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) Figures for 1907 are not yet available. From Returns in possession of the Board, approximately 34,253 "inspections" were carried out under Article 3 in the year 1906. It is impossible to give the number of cows examined. In approximately 257 cases the udder was certified to be tubercular. The Local Government Board have no information as to what was done with such cases.
