§ Lord HENRY CAVENDISH - BENTINCKasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will give a Return of the date of the notification of each outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and the date of slaughter of the animals infected during 1923 and 1924?
§ Mr. BUXTONI should like to be able to give the hon. Member the information he desires, but unless some special purpose is to be served. I regret that I cannot see my way to detail a special staff to extract the particulars at the present time. An examination of some 2,600 files would be necessary, and this would prove a lengthy and costly process.
