§ Dr. HASTINGSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the desirability of stimulating the breeding of pigs by smallholders and others, he will consider the desirability of instituting a scheme of insurance against loss through disease?
§ Dr. ADDISONThis question has been considered, but in the absence of any demand for new facilities from agriculturists, and in view of the unavoidably high premiums which would be required, the matter has not been pursued.
