HC Deb 25 March 1914 vol 60 c363
43. Mr. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the Board have published any information to the public regarding the standard of quality of tuberculin used for stock; and where the tuberculin can be procured?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I may refer the hon. Member to the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Departmental Committee on the Export of Live Stock, 1912 (Cd. 6032). The quality of tuberculin is not discussed in other publications of the Board. The Board are prepared to advise stock owners who inquire where tuberculin of good quality can be obtained.

59. Mr. C. BATHURST

asked if, in the opinion of the expert advisers of the Board, it is advisable for stock owners to have their cattle tested for tuberculosis with any tuberculin other than that manufactured at the Pasteur Institute in Paris?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I understand that reliable tuberculin may be obtained from other sources than from the Pasteur Institute in Paris.
