HC Deb 13 July 1910 vol 19 c353
Mr. C. BATHURST

asked whether the Board of Agriculture has official information showing that contagious abortion in cattle is seriously on the increase; and, if so, what steps are the Board taking to check its further development?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The Board have no official information as to the prevalence of this disease. As the hon. Member is aware, it has been the subject of inquiry by a Departmental Committee, and their Report has been presented to the House. The Board will give very full consideration to the recommendations of the Committee.
