§ In reply to a Question of which private notice had been given by Mr. LAURENCE HARDY (Kent, Ashford),
§ THE TREASURER OF THE HOUSEHOLD (Sir EDWARD STRACHEY,) Somersetshire, S.I am glad to say that the Board of Agriculture up to now have not received from our Ambassador at Washington information of any fresh outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease outside the prohibited States. I may also add that the Federal Government have been so good as to inform us that they will cable us if the outbreak spreads outside the prohibited States.
