§ Captain P. Macdonaldasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the report of the Bee Research Department, Rothamsted, endorsed by a unanimous resolution of the Bee Advisory Committee, he will introduce early legislation to confer legal powers for the control of brood disease in bees?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI am prepared to consider sympathetically the introduction of such legislation this Session if time permits and if general agreement is reached in the industry.
