Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Netherlands).

HC Deb 28 February 1910 vol 14 cc710-1W

Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if he can say whether there is still any foot-and-mouth disease among cattle in the Netherlands; and whether the British ports are open to the importation of hay from there?

Sir E. STRACHEY

We are not aware of the occurrence of any case of foot-and-mouth disease in the Netherlands since September last. The reply to the latter part of the question is in the negative.
