§ Sir WILLIAM COLLINSasked whether the inquiries made by the Board of Agri- 1028W culture as to the cause of foot and mouth disease in Edinburgh in 1908 resulted in showing how the hay suspected of being the medium of infection was contaminated, seeing that the disease did not exist on the farm premises whence this particular consignment of hay had been exported?
§ Sir E. STRACHEY:There was no evidence to show how the hay became contaminated. It was of foreign origin.
