§ Mr. FIELDasked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries have received a letter dealing with the prevalence of foot-and-mouth disease, and other cattle diseases, in Indian vaccine establishments; and whether the Committee of Inquiry proceeding to India to inquire into foot-and-mouth disease in that country will include in its investigations an inquiry into the origin of the cattle diseases occurring 807W in vaccine establishments and the possibility of such places being sources of foot-and-mouth disease on farms or grazing ground used by the infected animals?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI have received the letter to which the hon. Member refers, but I do not think that the investigation suggested would further the object which I had in view when I appointed the Committee in question.
