HC Deb 13 March 1933 vol 275 cc1607-8
48. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Lord President of the Council what steps are being taken to give publicity to the successful inoculation treatment for the prevention of distemper in dogs which has been discovered as the result of the investigations of the Medical Research Council?

Mr. BALDWIN

A statement signed by the Duke of Portland and other members of the "Field" Distemper Council which supported the researches has been very widely published in the Press, and I am advised that full accounts of the work and its results have been communicated to the veterinary profession through the medium of the technical journals. The preparations used are now available commercially and are advertised.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Would not this research work have been impossible if the Dogs Protection Bill had been passed into law?

Mr. BALDWIN

I believe it would have been quite impossible.
