§ 48. Mr. Priceasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, as representing the Lord President of the Council, whether any progress has been made in the search for a remedy for Johne's disease in cattle?
§ The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Earl Winterton)Until a completely satisfactory diagnostic agent for the detection by specific reaction of this disease is available, little progress can be made towards its cure. The Committee on Johne's Disease of the Agricultural Research Council have been engaged for 1330 some time in a careful comparative test of certain diagnostic agents. The work is progressing satisfactorily.
