§ 1. Sir I. Fraserasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider relaxing the quarantine Regulations applicable to imported dogs if evidence can be produced that they have been effectively inoculated.
§ The Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries (Sir Thomas Dugdale)No, Sir. Inoculation cannot be relied on to give complete protection against the spread of rabies.
§ Sir I. FraserWill my right hon. Friend watch this matter, because it would obviously save a good deal of money and trouble if we could find a means to deal with this troublesome quarantine position?
§ Sir T. DugdaleYes, Sir, I will, but after the experience of 30 years it is proved that this country is far in advance of any other country in this respect.
