HC Deb 20 March 1912 vol 35 cc2035-6W
Mr. CHIOZZA MONEY

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if his attention had been directed to the prevalence of a specific enteritis of cattle known as Johne's disease, in Northamptonshire and elsewhere; and if anything is being done to investigate the cause of the disease?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With reference to the second part of the question I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers I gave to the hon. Member for the Newport Division of Shropshire on the 19th and the 26th February. I may add that I have recently had the advantage of discussing the subject with a deputation of the Central Chamber of Agriculture.
