HC Deb 22 January 1913 vol 47 c442W
Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he will consider the advisability of reappointing the Departmental Committee of inquiry on foot-and-mouth distemper with a view to obtaining the latest expert information respecting the recent outbreaks?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

There has been nothing in the recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease which would justify the reappointment at present of the Departmental Committee to which the hon. Member refers.
