Sir N. STEWART SANDEMANasked the Minister of Health what steps are taken to make sure that the fruit imported into this country from abroad is gathered under circumstances which would prevent the germs of contagious diseases coming into this country?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am advised that investigations which have been made from time to time on this subject afford no evidence of the conveyance of contagious disease by imported fruit, and that no specific measures accordingly are necessary for the purpose indicated in the question.
