HC Deb 13 November 1912 vol 43 cc1984-5W
Mr. LARDNER

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) the names and addresses of all veterinary surgeons in Ireland who were employed by his Department during the recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Ireland; will he state the districts in which they were engaged; the number of cases attended to by each of these gentlemen; and will he state how many members of the permanent veterinary staff were engaged in the outbreaks, and state the districts visited by them?

Mr. T. W. RUSSELL

To prepare such a statement as this would take much time which could be ill spared at present, and it would be in no sense in the public interest to do so.
