§ Major HILLSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any information showing that the recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease near Catterick originated among animals fed on swill from Catterick Camp; and whether Dutch potatoes were supplied to that camp?
Mr. GUINNESSThe oldest lesions of disease were found in pigs which had been fed with swill from Catterick Camp, but it is impossible to say whether infection originated in the swill. I am informed that only locally grown potatoes were being supplied to the camp.
