HC Deb 14 September 1914 vol 66 c792W
Mr. PATRICK WHITE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he will state how many animals were in contact where the ten outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease occurred in the Grimsby district originally scheduled; and how the in-contacts were dealt with?

Sir HARRY VERNEY

Eleven out breaks of disease have occurred in the Grimsby scheduled district, and it was ascertained that 569 animals had been in contact with the animals actually affected with the disease. All these animals have been slaughtered.
