§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has received a resolution from the urban district council of Twickenham urging 1543W him to remove the dog-muzzling restrictions in that district, as no case of rabies has occurred there; and when he proposes to do this?
Sir A. BOSCAWENThe resolution in question has been received and acknowledged by the Ministry. Twickenham is included in the area to which the Muzzling Order was applied on the 9th December on acount of the outbreak of rabies at Acton. It is proposed to withdraw the Order about the end of the present month, if no further outbreak of rabies occurs in the scheduled district in the meantime.
