HC Deb 13 December 1944 vol 406 c1253W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many deaths of cattle have taken place during the past year in Uganda; how many of these were due to inoculation and to other causes; whether compensation is paid for losses due to inoculation; and what representations have been made on the subject from Africans.

Colonel Stanley

Figures of total deaths from all causes are not available. Out of some 400,000 head inoculated so far this year, approximately 28,000 have died, but it is not known in what proportion of these cases death was due to disease already contracted. Compensation is not paid for losses due to inoculation. The Governor has received representations from only three persons in respect of thirteen head of cattle.
