HC Deb 10 July 1956 vol 556 c170
8. Captain Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he re-tests all bulls each year for tuberculosis before they are lent to crofting townships which are 100 per cent. tubercular tested.

Mr. J. Stuart

Yes, Sir. All such bulls are tested before being sent out.

Captain Duncan

Is my right hon. Friend aware that in a 100 per cent. T.T. crofting county, when the test took place, last autumn, the only animal to go down in the test was the Government bull?
