§ 58. Sir GIFFORD FOXasked the Lord President of the Council whether the sub-committee of the Agricultural Research Council set up in 1934 to inquire into the incidence of fowl paralysis is still in being and, in that case, what is the constitution of this committee; whether it has taken any evidence; and, if so, where such evidence has been published or, if such evidence has not been published, whether he will take steps to ensure its publication?
§ The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)The 2128 Committee on Fowl Paralysis and similar diseases which was set up by the Agricultural Research Council in 1932 is still in being, and its work is continuing. The Committee is now under the chairmanship of Professor D. M. S. Watson, and I shall circulate the names in the OFFICIAL REPORT. It has not been found necessary for the Committee to call witnesses. An account of the Committee's work up to September, 1933, may be found in the report of the Agricultural Research Council (Cmd. 4718) of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy. A further account will be contained in the forthcoming report of the council which is in preparation.
