HC Deb 16 March 1927 vol 203 c2009
64. Sir R. HAMILTON

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he can give figures showing the general percentage of cattle in Great Britain estimated to be affected with tuberculosis; and if he can state whether there is a material variation shown in different parts of the country?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)

No reliable figures exist on which even a rough estimate could be based, either as to the total number of cattle affected with tuberculosis, or their distribution in the country.
