HC Deb 01 May 1918 vol 105 c1558W
Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he will consider the advisability of introducing mandatory Regulations to prevent warble-fly ravages on the same lines as sheep dipping against scab?

Sir R. WINFREY

The Board's inquiries have not so far revealed any simple and practicable method of dealing satisfactorily with the warble-fly pest that could be enforced by Regulation. Information and advice on the subject are contained in the Board's leaflet No. 21 and in leaflet No. 1 of the Irish Department of Agriculture.
