HC Deb 01 June 1911 vol 26 c1212
Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

asked whether the Board of Agriculture has made or proposes to make arrangements whereby control experiments will be conducted in the event of any future alleged outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Great Britain, and so create greater confidence in the minds of British stock-owners in decisions of the Board which have the effect of closing against them their best markets for an indefinite time?

Sir E. STRACHEY

Practical agriculturists are more than satisfied with the Board's procedure in regard to the foot-and-mouth disease.

Mr. C. BATHURST

Does the hon. Baronet mean agriculturists inside or outside the Board?

Sir E. STRACHEY

Agriculturists outside the Board like the hon. Member himself.
