Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Minister of Agriculture, in view of the fact that diseases known as struck and gangrene caused the loss of nearly 250,000 sheep in Romney Marsh and adjoining pastures, whether he will obtain adequate grants for purposes of research at Wye College for this particular purpose?

Mr. N. BUXTON

An application for a special research grant for an investigation into these diseases has been received from Wye College by the Ministry, and has been referred in the normal course to the Advisory Committee on Agricultural Science. The Report of the Committee is awaited.
