§ 39. Mr. HURDasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, following upon the visit of his scientific advisers to North America, he proposes to adopt in this country such administrative measures for the elimination of bovine tuberculosis as have proved successful in the United States and Canada?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Edward Wood)Sir Daniel Hall's recent visit to the United States was not made for the purpose of studying American methods for the elimination of bovine tuberculosis. The measures adopted there are well known to my advisers, but, as I have already explained, the Government propose to proceed in the first instance with a measure on the basis of the Tuberculosis Order of 1914.
§ Mr. HURDIn view of the reports of the remarkable success of some of these measures, in Canada, for instance, would it not be desirable to ask for a report from the Governor-General for the information of British agriculture?
§ Mr. WOODI should most gladly do so if we had not already got the information—as I think we have. I will inquire into that matter.
