HC Deb 12 January 1916 vol 77 cc1615-6W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether he will consider the advisability of introducing regulations making it compulsory on cattle owners to take measures to prevent the warble fly from being germinated in the animals owned by them?

Mr. T. W. RUSSELL

The Department are at present investigating the feasibility of the suggestion referred to. If the result of the experiments now in progress are satisfactory, the Department will be prepared to consider the question of enforcing by law the destruction of warbles.
