§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) what is the nature of the illness now prevalent amongst the horses at the Curragh; whether any and, if any, how many deaths have occurred in consequence of such illness; and what steps are being taken to prevent its further spread?
§ Mr. BIRRELLHorses in military camps are wholly under the supervision of the Army Veterinary Corps. Orders under the Diseases of Animals Acts do not apply to such horses. I am in consultation with the War Office in the matter.
