HC Deb 30 March 1914 vol 60 cc800-1
8. Mr. STANIER

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman can give the charges made at the Pirbright cattle-testing station for housing and feeding, and for inoculation and examination for the different diseases?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

A fee of £6 per head is charged for the tuberculin test, and £5 per head for immunisation against red-water, and £10 for the tuberculin test and immunisation combined. This fee includes all charges for testing or immunisation and for feeding and attendance during thirty-one days. If an animal is to be kept for a longer period than thirty-one days at the station to suit the convenience of the owner an additional charge at the rate of 30s. per week is payable.
