Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the fact that all bulls on the farms throughout the country are now registered, he will, through the war agricultural county committees, or other suitable bodies, advise farmers who have no previous experience of keeping bulls as to the best methods of housing and exercising them, with a view to ensuring that the animals are not permitted to suffer unnecessarily through neglect, and also to provide for future healthiest possible herds.
Mr. HudsonAs indicated in the reply given on 2nd December to my hon. Friend the Member for Stourbridge (Mr. R. Morgan), livestock officers who inspect bulls for licence give general advice to owners in suitable cases on the care of bulls. County War Agricultural Executive Committees are also generally responsible for giving farmers all necessary advice about the care of livestock.
